Senator Chris Dodd won a temporary victory today after his threats of a filibuster forced Democratic leadership to push back consideration of a measure that would grant immunity to telecom companies that were complicit in warrantless surveillance.<\/p>\n

The measure was part of a greater bill to reorganize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
