I think an US court prevented investigators from analysing computer hard-disks seized from a suspected terrorist, before 9/11. The FBI and CIA think that if the court had allowed the investigators to study the disks, the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented.!!
No, it wasn't a court, it was the FBI itself: ...The FBI met all evidentiary standards to both apply for and be granted a FISA warrant. The information the FBI had to support their FISA request was two files on Moussaoui that were given to the FBI by the French and British intelligence services. Inexplicably, FBI lawyers and supervisors at FBI HQ "misunderstood" the evidentiary standards needed to apply for and receive a FISA warrant, and they refused the FISA request from the FBI agents in Minneapolis. Thus, the Moussaoui search warrant paperwork was never submitted to the FISA court. One need only read Colleen Rowley's memorandum to confirm these facts. Had FBI HQ not denied the FISA request, the FISA court would have issued the search warrant to search Moussaoui's belongings.... None of the FBI lawyers and/or supervisors responsible for this glaring error and "misjudgment" has been held accountable. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/12/21/1197/8841 ------------------------ Yahoo!
