Dodd Campaign "Pleased" With Obama's Statement Backing Filibuster Of FISA Bill
Dodd spokesman Hari Sevugan sends over the following statement on Obama's support for filibustering any FISA bill with telecom immunity, and Hillary's refusal to go that far:
There is some confusion as to what Senators Clinton and Obama meant in their statements, and we are pleased that Senator Obama has attempted to be more definitive in his position today.We hope that other candidates will follow Chris Dodd’s lead in unequivocally stating that they will filibuster any FISA bill that contains retroactive immunity for telecom companies -- because this issue demands clarity.

Shadow Wolf wrote on October 24, 2007 10:59 PM:Umm, Adlof - you have it reversed. *Obama* spoke out against retroactive immunity, on this very site, on October 18th, the same day Dodd announced he would place a hold on the bill.

It's *Hillary* who's made no statement until now.
