It looks like Representative Charlie Gonzalez kept his word, even though
it was lonely standing up for spy-com accountability.
“I’ve never been for [retroactive
immunity]” he told the Current,
in February, and it's gratifying
to see him stick to his guns, especially since AT&T, the
telecom most publicly associated with the illegal wiretapping thanks to
a whistleblower, has been a Gonzalez $$ supporter.
“We ask individuals to be accountable for their actions
— they’re not granted immunity ... When you have
liability, it produces responsibility.”
