Rather than re-capping the events of September 11 and their aftermath, we'd rather review the responses and reactions to date of the Bush administration, including but not limited to Attorney General Ashcroft.

We begin with comedian and political humorist Barry Crimmins who has this to say about Bush (via Blah3):

"W says he doesn't need Congress to approve of his war. He says he doesn't need trials to dispose of people he deems dangerous. He says doesn't need to answer questions about obvious ties to enormously corrupt corporations or about his own sleazy business dealings. Perhaps if we had just insisted on him needing to be elected before he took office, he wouldn't have drawn some of these other bizarre conclusions."

On a more contemplative note, we recommend Let it Begin Here's take on Ashcroft, the media, and what people seem to care the most about.
