So what? If convicted terrorists go free because our government used illegal spying tactics, then chalk that up to a lesson learned. Don’t excuse the illegality of this case just because it may cause further complications. Our government knew that what they were doing was illegal, and they knew all too well what the consequences of that action could result. We have a time honoured court system here in America, and it’s tried and true. We have rules in place, and we have consequences for breaking those rules. It’s not the fault of prosecutors or defense lawyers, who are either defending the suspected terrorists or prosecuting interrogators who used illegal tactics, that any suspected terrorists will be let free. OUr court system knows all too well what happens when procedure isn’t followed. Murderers have been let free in the past because their confessions were not legally binding due to certain circumstances. This isn’t the wild west, George Bush doesn’t live in Tombstone, and rules have to be followed.
