Sure I can survive, if you will check on me in key hole for the sake of peace and prosperity. But who are you? Why should I trust you? How I know for sure, that this is for society, and not for Halliburton?

                        WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 
The <SPAN id="lw_1213998509_0" class="yshortcuts">U.S. House of Representatives</SPAN> 
passed a bill on Friday that could shield phone companies from 
billions of dollars in lawsuits for their participation in the 
warrantless surveillance program begun by <SPAN id="lw_1213998509_1" class="yshortcuts">President George W. 
Bush</SPAN> after the <SPAN id="lw_1213998509_2" class="yshortcuts">September 11 attacks</SPAN>.

 Democrats faced election-year pressure to pass the bill, 
fearing failure to do so would let Republicans paint them as 
weak on security and force them to accept what they saw as a 
more objectionable Senate version of the legislation.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080620/ts_nm/usa_surveillance_dc_14"><P>
 The bill authorizes U.S. intelligence agencies to 
eavesdrop, without court approval, on foreign targets believed 
to be outside the United States.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080620/ts_nm/usa_surveillance_dc_14"><P>
 The measure also clarifies that to conduct electronic 
surveillance of a person in the United States, the government 
must obtain a warrant from U.S. <SPAN id="lw_1213998509_10" class="yshortcuts">Foreign Intelligence 
Surveillance Court</SPAN>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9C1DE83F-E3C0-44FA-8D8F-740322C5F5AA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
