Over at DailyKos, McJoan provides an overview of the story so far in FISA Fight: The Fear Express rolls on. She quotes the Walz response after pointing out pertinent information from an LATimes report:
It's the same false charges, claiming that the lapse of the Protect America Act has meant that "new surveillance against terrorists is crippled." What it doesn't say is that the PAA lapsed because Republicans refused to extend, and even if they had voted to extend it, Bush would have vetoed it anyway. Then there's the whole part about the fact that it's just a lie, that the administration has been forced to admit that no intelligence has been lost and we are thus no less safe than we were before the law expired.
Update: The Liberal Media Elite weighs in.
