US-Spionageprozess: Verdeckte Abhoerprotokolle-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Anklage gegen den mutmasslichen Spion Kurt Stand basiert? Der morgen in Alexandria (VA) beginnende Prozess wird wenig Klarheit in diese Frage bringen, weil die Federals die Herkunft der abgehörten Daten nicht offenlegen müssen. Der Verteidiger kann die Qualität der vorgebrachten Indizien daher auch nicht in Frage stellen & findet dies daher nicht fair. -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- ALEXANDRIA, Va. An espionage trial set to begin in federal court here on Tuesday highlights what even the secret court's supporters admit is its weakness: The court's secrecy can make it very difficult for defendants caught on the wiretaps to defend themselves. ... "Under law I can't find out what the wiretap was based on, whether the information was flawed, whether the judge was correct to authorize it. There's a fundamental issue of fairness here," says Richard Sauber, a Washington, D.C., lawyer defending accused spy Kurt Stand. ... The law requires the Justice Department, and usually the FBI or the National Security Agency, to show a judge that the target is a foreign government or agent engaging in "clandestine intelligence gathering activities" or terrorism. "The spirit of the thing is to hold the (wiretap requests) to a high legal standard," says William Webster, director of the FBI when FISA was passed. "That's a large departure from the way things had been done." ... Says David Banisar, researcher for the Electronic Privacy Information Center: "There are mistakes made in ordinary warrant processes, from getting the wrong address to not having probable cause, and they can be corrected when lawyers attack the warrant. " "That can't happen here," he says. "We'll never know how many mistakes are made because the (secret) court's proceeding isn't public." full text http://www.usatoday.com/news/nds1.htm relayed by jericho@dimensional.com -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- q/depesche is powered by http://www.netsphere.at handicrafters of fine mailing-lists and more -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1998-10-05 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
