Front page news story in New York Times today about friction between John Ashcroft and members of the FBI. Ashcroft has ordered that the FBI should end surveillance of some terrorists and take them into custody. "The order has resulted in the arrest of many immigrants suspected of involvement with groups linked to Osama bin Laden. But it has also met with resistance from F.B.I. agents who believed the that surveillance ---if continued for days or weeks---might turn up critical evidence to prove who orchestrated the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon." Excerpt from article, "Orders Go Out to Pursue Leads to Try to Avert Any More Attacks," by Philip Shenon and David Johnston in The New York Times , Tuesday, October 9, 2001, Page 1
