  Morning Update: The Intelligence Vote

  Posted on Thursday, July 10th, 2008 by campaign2008

  Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) on Wednesday voted in favor of a new FISA bill (WashPost) which lifted restrictions on domestic spying and granted legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated in the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) missed the vote, but has expressed support for the bill.

  McCain on Wednesday praised Defense Secretary Robert Gates for his reopening of the Air Force tanker deal to new bidders.

  In a Los Angeles Times op-ed on Wednesday, Obama foreign policy advisers Madeleine Albright and William Perry argue against McCain’s proposal to oust Russia from the G-8.
