Attorney General John Ashcroft will be testifying this morning before the House Judiciary Committee on his implementation of the Patriot Act, and whether or not these anti-terrorism powers should be renewed. You can bank on legislators renewing his powers, but be prepared for some rhetorical fireworks especially coming on the heels of a scathing report issued earlier this week about immigrant detentions. Lawmakers are also justifiably peeved over the Justice Department's high level of secrecy.
