+-   Commission Proposed to Investigate Spying on Tuesday March 11 2008, @07:28PM metalman

metalman writes "Amidst recent discussions of government wiretaps, phone companies and privacy violations, Wired.com has a story on a proposal by House Democracts to "establish a national commission — similar to the 9/11 Commission... to find out — and publish — what exactly the nation's spies were up to during their five year warrantless, domestic surveillance program." The draft bill would also preserve the requirement of court orders and remove "retroactive immunity for telecom companies." But it seems unlikely that such an "alternative on phone immunity" would pass both the House and Senate."
