Post; Ex-Sailor Invokes Patriot Act Ruling


Washington Post
November 29, 2007
Pg. 2

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.

If it was legal at the time, then it should still stand, right?
You can't get jailed for something you did that's illegal now but legal then.
Then evidence that was legal at the time should still stand.
