Wire taps Can not be used in a Court of Law

They are illegal, and can not be used as evidence in a court of law.

2. And what "Court of law" you're talking about.

HOWEVER, Bush will simply deem the "perpetrator" an enemy combatant and then all bets are off.

5. Some
Of what they discover may not ever make to court.
