NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Federal prosecutors played phone calls from a former Navy sailor accused of supporting terrorism by disclosing the location of ships, but the ex-sailor says a recent ruling against the USA Patriot Act made the calls illegal to intercept. The phone calls were played in a court hearing to decide whether to admit the evidence in the case against Hassan Abujihaad. Lawyers for Abujihaad have argued that the calls and other evidence, such as e-mail searches, should be thrown out after a judge's ruling in September that struck down portions of the Patriot Act.
