Patriot Act Catches a Baby-Food Thief

The case of Samih Jammal, convicted with the help of the Patriot Act and
FISA wiretaps of fencing stolen baby formula, sits on the fine line between
the government's terrorism-fighting role and its duty to protect citizen's
rights.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL reports the use of FISA warrants helped prosecuted
Arizona grocery wholesaler Jammal, who was convicted of operating a baby
formula theft ring.
The JOURNAL notes that Jammal, a "U.S. citizen born in Lebanon, was never
charged with any offense related to terrorism."
