The motion filed by one of the attorneys for Defendant Carlos Kauffmann gives us a small window into the government's case:

• There are 41 audio CDs recorded during the surveillance, many of which are three hours long.

• Eight videos exist. Neither the CDs or videos have not yet been transcribed or translated from Spanish by the US Attorney.

• Counsel states that there are approximately 4500 documents available for inspection and copying.
  

• According to defence counsel, " the prosecution also advises that there are many additional tapes that will soon be disclosed."

Additional tapes from where, you ask?  Counsel has also moved the Court to require the prosecutor to disclose whether there are any tapes from "warrant-less or illegal surveillance."  Since 9/11, the National Security Agency (NSA) has been eavesdropping on international telephone traffic in connection with the Global War on Terror, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. Some of this may constitute illegal surveillance under American law,

If the NSA was improperly listening in to attorney-client conversations, and said information was used to assist in this case, in any way, it must be disclosed.

Personally, I am also curious about the four thousand-odd documents the US Attorney reportedly has.  Do they signal a larger picture? We shall see, though later rather than sooner, now that the trial date has been moved off a bit.
