Environment Secretary Mike Defensor presents evidence in a news conference Friday at Quezon City that the tape of the alleged wiretapped chat between President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and an election official was questionable, citing the analysis made by sound experts. (AP photo)

In a press conference Friday, Environment Secretary Michael Defensor said he had sent two tracks from the tapes--at the heart of an impeachment complaint against the President--to Barry G. Dickey, a forensic expert in Arlington, Texas-based Audio Evidence Lab.
