Gee,gcruse,why have you been so hard on Ashcroft?

[PersonalLiberties]

There was findings that charges for manslaughter should be brought against fellow US soldiers. So, they did not like the findings.

All I am saying (as I do not have sympathy for evil doers such as terrorists) is that just b/c someone is in power does not make their hands clean - Ashcroft.

Also, if ordered from somewhere higher to do as told (prosecutor - who works for govt.) not only does that relate to my brother's death but the same body who did the ordering (govt.) will not find itself guilty.

Because I have learned to view politics on a spectrum that runs from liberty to authoritarianism, rather than liberal to conservative. I see in Ashcroft a Constitution-breaking, one-track minded statist bent on imposing his lopsided priorities on an America supine with fear.
