Quote:

To summarize: it looks like evidence obtained from wiretapping without a warrant or judicial approval may not hold up in court. This could lead the acquittal of terrorists who are brought to trial because their lawyers can claim that the evidence against them was improperly gathered, and they can be set loose to strike again.




First off, there is a great deal of suppostion in both their analysis and your summary: "looks like," "may not," "could lead to", etc.

But more importantly, sometimes, the question isn't "do we win a court case", it's "do we stop these people before they maim or kill someone."

It's the "WAR on Terror," not the "lawsuit against terror."
