La administración de Bush desea la energía de conceder inmunidad legal a las compañías de las telecomunicaciones que se dan una palmada con los juegos de la aislamiento para cooperating con el programa que escucha detras de las puertas warrantless polémico de la casa blanca. La autoridad cerraría con eficacia docenas de pleitos archivados contra las compañías de las telecomunicaciones acusadas de ayudar instalado el programa.
La oferta vago redactada blindaría a cualquier persona que alegado proporcionara la información, la infraestructura o “cualquier otra forma de ayuda” a las agencias de inteligencia después del 11 de septiembre de 2001, ataques del terror.
Cubre cualquier actividad clasificada de las comunicaciones prevista para proteger el país contra terrorismo.
Republicans say immunity is necessary to protect the companies that responded to legal presidential orders to thwart terrorists in the years after 9/11. Yet some Democrats fear the administration’s proposal would do much more than advertised, potentially protecting anyone who gave broad categories of aid to the government as part of a spy programme that monitors communications.
Because the administration does not want to identify which companies participated in the operations, it is asking Congress to let the attorney-general intervene on behalf of any person or company accused of participating in the surveillance work, whether or not they actually did, two senior justice department officials said.
More than a dozen government officials interviewed for this story spoke on condition they not be identified because sensitive negotiations with Congress are ongoing.
One of the officials said the defendants in suits brought by the American Civil Liberties Union — Verizon and AT&T — would be the key beneficiaries of the proposed legislation.
Both companies are a central part of the US communications grid, running networks that transmit both telephone calls and emails. (AP)
