Let's start at the top of the People For The American Way release. Is what it says in the first few paragraphs true or not true. I already read some of what it refers to in a NYT story and elsewhere about dissent within the FBI. I found what I posted interesting, that's why copied it here. Tell me, is this the part that makes me a traitor? "Former FBI leaders suggest that John Ashcroft is resurrecting the discredited tactics of J. Edgar Hoover," Neas. He cited recent Washington Post and New York Times articles reporting comments by many former FBI officials—including William Webster, a conservative Republican from Missouri and former FBI and CIA Director under Ronald Reagan— that raised serious concerns about the Justice Department’s current tactics. They said this arrest-and detain approach hasn’t worked in the past, might undercut efforts to infiltrate terrorist cells, and could lead to abuses of civil liberties. News reports indicate that a number of senior FBI and Justice Department officials disagree strongly with some of Ashcroft’s initiatives.
