Fisa Vote Statement Disappointed.
This is only the second time I've been disappointed in the campaign. I was angry that they took so long to respond to Rev. Wright's second appearance, and today I'm disappointed that he supports the FISA "compromise."
Statement of Senator Barack Obama on FISA Compromise
“Given the grave threats that we face, our national security agencies must have the capability to gather intelligence and track down terrorists before they strike, while respecting the rule of law and the privacy and civil liberties of the American people. There is also little doubt that the Bush Administration, with the cooperation of major telecommunications companies, has abused that authority and undermined the Constitution by intercepting the communications of innocent Americans without their knowledge or the required court orders.
