Buggy Bugging Backfires On German Police

Alethes writes "The BBC is reporting that German police have been caught bugging cellphones at the expense of criminal suspects who found a unknown and inaccessible voicemail number listed on their bills that was being used to record calls. Telecommunications authorities said that nearly 20,000 lines were currently being tapped."

    Giving Germany's extremely liberal immigration laws, Al-Qaeda has established quite a foothold in the country.

    The German police aren't trying to listen in on private phone calls -- they're trying to snatch terrorists who are plotting attacks against Americans. Al-Qaeda cells coordinating international terrorism is an everyday occurence in many German cities, and the police should do everything they can to save lives from murderous attacks.

    Remember: Mohammed Atta and his crew of butchers, who murdered 3000 Americans on 9/11/01, plotted the entire scheme in Germany. The fact that the tapping showed up on the phone bills is not a good thing -- it's sloppy work, and it could mean lives lost to terrorism.

    No, he just dies in a unique and horrible way every day. (Actually, usually twice a day or so.) I just thought it would be a fresh twist on the cut-and-paste "Stephen King dead at 55" bit, you know, the one with "There weren't any further details." There's very little creativity in that one.

    Um.......i guess we have no rights online or on the phone, at least they don't.

    Why should they have rights? Why should people who want to destroy us, and take away our livihood, and remove our liberties have any right? I don't understand why anyone would want them to have rights. Let's support everything we can to stop them.
