Good thing that you are not a legal eagle. While it may be the
practice that recording the conversations of inmates is a common
procedure, the US Justice department had an agreement with Noriega
that his conversations with his lawyer would NOT be recorded. Are you
not glad at the integrity of the Justice department?

#It noted that generally lawyer-client conversations are not monitored,
#though the court has said that it is OK because the attorney is a 
#common method of conducting business as usual by organized crime
inmantes.

When and what court ever said that? Or was this part of the nefarious
RICO statures?

#The paper also noted that most holding facilities provide NON-bugged
#areas that are so-labeled if the inmate wants full privacy.

Noriega WANTED full privacy, and had made an agreement to get it when
ever he talked with his lawyers. Why was the government taping these
conversations anyway?

#>Not if the other side knows what he and his lawyer have been talking about.
#>(I think its equally wrong for CNN to have or broadcast these conversations.)

Why is it wrong for CNN to broadcast proof that the US is violating
the civil rights of a prisioner? Or that it is breaking its
agreements?
