FBI Admits to Making Mistakes in Wiretaps

WASHINGTON — The FBI says it sometimes gets the wrong number when it intercepts conversations in terrorism investigations, an admission critics say underscores a need to revise wiretap provisions in the Patriot Act (search).

The FBI would not say how often these mistakes happen. And, though any incriminating evidence mistakenly collected is not legally admissible in a criminal case, there is no way of knowing whether it is used to begin an investigation.

You mean our government makes mistakes? Makes you wonder how they can accomplish these perfectly coordinated attacks on the World Trade Centers.

You mis read it (or didn't at all) It was the phone companies that suppossedly made the mistakes. The problem is that the FBI is keeping the recordings which were obtained illegally.
