Court Case Lowered Barrier for illegal-taps

Court Case Lowered Barrier Allowing Prosecutors To Use Illegal-Wiretap Evidence.

Bush Administration may be able to go back before 9-11 to use illegal-wiretap evidence against Americans.

Previously U.S. prosecutors were not allowed access to the Justice Department’s “intelligence files” for domestic criminal prosecutions. In 2003 a court ruling lowered that barrier, allowing prosecutors to review old surveillance. In 2003, Attorney General John Ashcroft asked government prosecutors to review thousands of old intelligence files including wiretaps to retrieve information prosecutors could use in “ordinary criminal prosecutions.”
