"To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that
includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies."

-- Obama spokesman Bill Burton, Oct. 24, 2007

says he'll vote in favor of the new FISA bill that gives the telecom
companies blanket immunity for post-Sept. 11 eavesdropping.
