Just fancy that!
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has backed the limited use of intercept evidence in court, after an independent review.
The Chilcot report says phone tap evidence was needed in some cases in England and Wales for security reasons.
But it says material should not be used against the wishes of the agencies collecting it - or if it could have been gained in another way.
Seeing as MI5, MI6 and GCHQ all pathologically oppose any intercept evidence being made admissible, this is the best possible conclusion that both the review and Brown could have reached. Justice will always come second to "national security considerations."
