There is a lot more stuff about Ashcroft that really renders him unfit for AG, but, I doubt folks on this board would be interested in hearing it...

If its more BS like the post I'm responding to, you'd be exactly right. Ashcroft is eminnently qualified as AG. Sure as hell a lot better than Janet Reno.

The Ashcroft confirmation hearing could prove very interesting:

<<What really transpired here was that White had joined an opinion to throw out a conviction of a deranged man who killed several law enforcement folks. >>

Oh God say that isn't true. Ashcroft want's to lock up the killers of the thin blue line that keeps us semi safe? Can't let him be AG. No sir. Let the killers run loose. Bet you want me to turn in my guns too.

I am just curious: how do you know that Ashcroft was being cynical? I realize that it is possible, and I am certainly unfamiliar with the case, knowing no more than I have cursorily read. I am just troubled by the positive assertion, and I have some doubt that Ashcroft would have made the allegations if they were so easily refutable. I mean, no one every accused him of stupidity..........
