US is paying the price for bungling the war
By H.D.S. Greenway | April 16, 2004

"THE FRUIT of the poison tree" is an aphorism taught in law schools pertaining to search and seizure. It means that if a law enforcement officer does something wrong in the beginning of the process, if he should fail to have a proper warrant, for example, then everything following from that mistake is similarly tainted. I fear that we are seeing that doctrine coming true in the mother of all search and seizures, Iraq.
