So then I'd come back to the question I said I'd leave the last time, which is what would you want a judge to do, keeping in mind there's an element of the dignity of the courts within the framework of the comedy of nations where courts are basically there to say to other courts, “we're not in the business of contributing the violation of your laws”? However much international spying is kind of internationally lawful unlawfulness, the question involving our courts in this, especially where you said one of the triggers should be any time CSIS thinks they might be breaching international or foreign law, could you just indicate to me what a judge would do with that? How would the judge say, okay, go ahead and do it, even though that's the reason you're coming to me—you're going to break foreign law and now I'm going to go on the record saying you can do it.
