Title: Acorn Employee Sues Undercover Filmmakers

It's only entrapment if used for law-enforcement purposes. Besides, if they didn't want to look bad, maybe they shouldn't have, you know, encouraged the establishment of a brothel with multiple underage El Salvadoran sex slaves.

When you're a far left oragization and you get mocked by Jon Stewart (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-september-15-2009/the-audacity-of-hos), you are in trouble.

And I think that any accusations of breaking wiretapping laws could probably be defended against in light of the journalistic nature of the recordings. After all, how many times do we see local news shows secretly videotaping shady mechanics and the like. IANAL, and all, but if I were on a jury I'd vote for the kids who made the videos if there was even the barest of legal permissability.
