The Document

There's an article at Salon that describes the efforts of a team of lawyers on behalf of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation Inc. to sue George W. Bush for infringing upon their Constitutional rights through illegal wiretaps. The main piece of evidence in their case is what the author describes as "The Document." What is this document? "I can't publicly reveal what's in the Document because, well, it's a secret," says author Jon Eisenberg. The Document is a piece of top-secret classified material that accidentally made it into the hands of these lawyers along with a packet of non-classified material.

My question is this: Can The Document be used as evidence in a criminal court against not only George W. Bush, but against his telecom counterparts in this crime? I really want to know the answer. Any insights?
