The actions of the Dems and their acolytes in the media are going to cause many of these situations, leading to terrorists being set free...but don't you dare question their patriotism!
Let me get this straight...They are permitted to question the war (freedom of speech) but I am not permitted to question their patriotism?
If a criminal is guilty of a crime, the process of gathering evidence does not change the guilt or innocence. If the evidence was illegally obtained, then the person who obtained it should be prosecuted for his/her crime. It should have absolutely no bearing on the guilt of the criminal. This is one of the major faults of our current legal system.
We are WAY too concerned about protecting the "rights" of the guilty and not concerned enough about protecting the rights of the victims. In this case that includes the law-abiding citizens of the USA whose civil rights are infringed every day when they are forced to modify their behavior to accomodate criminals. That includes airline checks, fear of walking alone at night or in certain neighborhoods, reluctance to visit particular cities...
