"..... Even in the fight against foreign terrorists, Mr. Ashcroft's political leanings have distorted policy. Mr. Ashcroft is very close to the gun lobby — and these ties evidently trump public protection.

    It's frightening enough to imagine the Liberals doing security with Ashcroft, but Harper and his merry band of USAmites in the security-bed with Ashcroft? I can't even go there. Yikes!

    O.K. we've so far had something like Bush, the worst president ever, then Cheney, the worst vice president ever and now Ashcroft the worst Attorney Gerneral ever. So what will it take to put these worst evers in jail? I just read an article that states a group of 450 professors of law, international relations and public policy have written a letter to the US Congress to review Iraq interrogation and hold executive branch accountable "through impeachment and removal if appropriate." But I have to wonder if anything will ever come of it?

    news.
