From the article;
“The Senate Intelligence Committee could draft a bill this week that includes relief for the carriers. The administration is seeking blanket immunity, which would extend to anyone sued for assisting the government — not just telecom carriers — in its post-Sept. 11 surveillance programs.”
My mind went to the “Flying imam’s” lawsuits.
That’s a good point. In a case like the flying imams, no one ought to be able to recover damages for being reported for suspicious activity unless they can prove that the report itself was false.
