George Bush actually said...

"Private companies who have willingly helped us in the past are now saying, 'You can't protect me. Why should I help you?'"

"Congress must fix this damage to our national security immediately."

"It is unfair and unjust to threaten these companies with financial ruin only because they are believed to have done the right thing and helped their country."

"Without protection from lawsuits, private companies will be increasingly unwilling to take the risk of helping us with vital intelligence activities."
