Under questioning from a reporter, Hayden disputed that the 4th Amendment requires probable cause to receive a warrant allowing for the lawful search or seizure of property. The text of the Amendment states the following: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Moreover, electronic surveillance (prior to the Bush administration's illegal program) required there to be probable cause that that the target was an agent of a foreign power. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001883620 Intelligence to a Bushy makes about as much sense as dogshit on pie a la mode. ----- / o o \ ====OO=====OO================================ Hank Roth's Place - http://pnews.org/ ============================================= Fightback - Notification/Pointer list sub/unsub at: http://pnews.org/dada/ ============================================= Fightback - OPEN discussion - (subscribe or unsubscribe) in subject line to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================================= EXCHANGE LINKS: Increase Link Rankings Archives - http://pnews.org/archives/ ============================================== http://up-yours.us - http://inyourface.info ============================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://g0lem.net/ ==============================================
