don't stray outside the box

This might be the right legal decision. I'm not qualified to comment on that part.

The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit holds for the first time that government agents may obtain admissible evidence against United States citizens through warrantless searches abroad. ^NYT

But I think it is the kind of freedom crushing decision which the rest of this country should be quick to see reversed. Sadly it is riding on the back of our current devil so I'm sure it will be quietly accepted in the large. An article on a legal decision leading with a sentence about the defendants in the original trial is a sad statement about bias in our media. ( Nov 24 2008, 05:16:05 PM PST ) Permalink
