Unintentionally misled

2013-10-25 05:12:48.701471+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

NPR: Government Takes A U-Turn On Warrantless Wiretaps:

The Obama administration recently discovered that it unintentionally misled the Supreme Court last year in a warrantless wiretapping case involving U.S. citizens. Now, the Department of Justice is changing its policy to comply with the law and assurances it gave the high court.

"Unintentionally misled". Gee, if you were a private citizen who committed perjury and obstruction of justice, would "I'm going to change my policy to comply with the law" work as a defense?
