OT Interesting. Is it fair to say that every Confederate General fighting the civil war was fighting for white supremacy? If not it may be a stretch to tie in Ashcroft as 'supporting white supremacy organizations and participated in their meetings and contributing to their journals.' There were a number of issues tied into the war, it may be that the 'perversion' Ashcroft refers to is in fact labeling every confederate a white supremist when that was not each man's agenda. Notwithstanding any of that, as an impartial party I am alarmed when a politician goes into politician mode instead of speaking frankly to the question of just exactly what he found non-perverse and more significantly what he does find perverse in the Confederacy thinking. Instead we simply get sophistry. It's troubling to say the least. Do you believe Powell's position of authority is political subterfuge only, i.e., tokenism? RO
