Chris, that's a bit of a low blow. Why not just wish him well and hope that he resigns? >>> Mission Impossible - Federal Observers & Voting Machines by Lynn Landes ecotalk.org 11/26/02 See also… SCOOP AMERICAN COUP 2002 ARCHIVES Just when you thought you couldn't get any more cynical. Guess which state did not have Federal Observers assigned to it by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for the 2002 mid-term election? If you guessed Florida, congratulations, you're living in the real world... depressing, but real. No state could match the staggering number of Voting Rights complaints due to voting machines and other shenanigans as Florida did in the 2000 presidential election. Yet the Bush Administration's DOJ, under Attorney General John Ashcroft, did not see fit to send Federal Observers to Florida to monitor the voting process in 2002, although Observers were sent to several other states. This is surprising news to many people and organizations who were told by DOJ officials that "Justice" would be down there in force.<<< scoop.co.nz

Attorney General Ashcroft hospitalized for gallstone pancreatis CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer Friday, March 5, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (03-05) 07:04 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General John Ashcroft has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit for a severe case of gallstone pancreatitis, a painful condition that usually clears up within a week with treatment. Ashcroft, a 61-year-old former Missouri senator who has been free of health problems, canceled an appearance Thursday afternoon at which he was to have announced verdicts in a terrorism case. Justice Department spokesman Mark Corallo said Friday the attorney general initially believed he had a stomach flu. "He went home and when the condition worsened, he was visited by White House physician Daniel Parks, who advised that he go to the emergency room," Corallo said. He said Ashcroft was taken Thursday night to the George Washington University Hospital for evaluation. "After a full medical work up in the emergency room, it was determined that he was suffering from a severe case of gallstone pancreatitis," Corallo said. "He was admitted to intensive care for careful monitoring and is being treated with antibiotics." www.sfgate.com
