NSA Might Listen to Lawyer Calls
Author: Dave Lewis
It keeps getting better with this NSA eavesdropping crap (earlier Post). According to an article on Wired. Yes I know, I’m breaking my own rule, I read Wired. Well, they managed to point out something rather obvious. The eavesdropping could, and probably did, capture privileged conversation between lawyers and their clients or doctors and…you get the idea.
Responding to questions from Congress, the [justice] department also said that it sees no prohibition to using information collected under the NSA’s program in court.
The “legal” footing seems to be as secure as a house built on quick sand. But yet, it continues.
The department also avoided questions on whether the administration believes it is legal to wiretap purely domestic calls without a warrant, when al-Qaida activity is suspected. The department wouldn’t say specifically that it hasn’t been done.
