Go read this. One is mystified about why it would have not been a million times easier for the government to get a FISA warrant after it found Yassin Aref's name and number in a notebook in a terrorist camp in Rawah Iraq, which would then enable it to investigate if there is a case against him with wiretap and other evidence it could admit without question into court. When it has probable cause, why not use it? Is the argument really just that it is too much of a hassle? As if dealing with the possibility that the evidence could be thrown out of court is not more of a hassle?
