No, I Meant the SECRET Fourth Amendment

Poor General Hayden. In his press conference, Knight Ridder reporter Jonathan Landay pressed him on fourth amendment issues, asking about probable cause. Here's the exchange:

HAYDEN: Actually, the Fourth Amendment actually protects all of us against unreasonable search and seizure. That's what it says.

LANDAY: But the measure is probable cause, I believe.

HAYDEN: The amendment says unreasonable search and seizure.

LANDAY: But does it not say probable --

HAYDEN: No.

LANDAY: The court standard, the legal standard --

HAYDEN: The amendment says unreasonable search and seizure.

Just as an FYI to our friend the General, a copy of the 4th amendment for his reading pleasure.

Amendment IV.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
