I heard this story last night (Tuesday) on WABC Radio's Batchelor & Alexander show, when they were doing the nightly segment with John Loftus.

Loftus said that he has a duplicate original of the affidavit, which he received in a court case.

IIRC, his duplicate original is marked/stamped 'filed', as in filed with the court clerk.

Sorry ... typed too fast. The affidavit Loftus claims to have is the affidavit supporting the application for a search warrant, and if the affidavit had been shredded, then the evidence obtained from the search and derivative investigations might be inadmissable. But if the affidavit still exists, then the evidence, etc., is admissable.

Thanks for the information. It is somewhat comforting.

Heard the loftus Report, as well. He said that the DOJ and FBI were at loggerheads over this case. The FBI wants to throw the book at Al-Arian and the DOJ wants to let it drop. All about money--Arab money--Loftus said. It made me extremely angry.
