Did anyone besides me get uneasy watching Attorney General Ashcroft defend the use of military tribunals to deal with civilian terrorist suspects currently under arrest in the United States? Ashcroft referred to the interest and responsibility of Congress in a rather patronizing way, implying that in an emergency like this the executive branch should have extraordianry powers to sidestep the Constitution. One could already see surfacing the kind of thinking that ultimately leads to KGB-type machinery, secret police, mysterious disappearances of suspects, and so on. I was happy to see Tom Brokaw standing up to him and correcting him on a couple of points. I'd like to see Ashcoft gone, however. Seldom write to congressmen, but may in this case. I think he's a menace to freedom.
