35. OBAMA: "It grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies."

Obama on Thursday July 3:

I know that the FISA bill that passed the House is far from perfect. . . . It grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that may have violated the law by cooperating with the Bush Administration's program of warrantless wiretapping. This potentially weakens the deterrent effect of the law and removes an important tool for the American people to demand accountability for past abuses.

Are you trying to say he was lying?
