When Chris Dodd tried to stop telecom immunity, Harry Reid failed to honor his “hold”, a procedural move that he has allowed Republicans to make time and time again. Many wonder why. The Democrats have flaunted their impotence by subpoenaing White House officials who blow them off without consequences (the recent lawsuit has been assigned to a judge who has made a living out of protecting Republican outlawry, on and off the bench). Yet, strangely, the Democrats have failed to listen to a willing witness who has the goods on Bush and the telecoms. Neither house of Congress, either the Senate that has already sold out, or the House that claims to be against the concept of immunity, has listened to the man who exposed this scandal in the first place. Again, one must wonder why. Could it be that the Democrats just aren’t that interested in offending their corporate masters?
His name is Mark Klein. He tells his story here. He’s obviously disgusted with the Democrats, and you can’t blame him. (Via Boing-boing.tv)
