Ashcroft Reports on Progress of CIA Leak Probe
Attorney General John Ashcroft spoke out today on what he called "valuable progress" in the CIA Leak Probe. It sounds like Ashcroft is at least paying lip service to the criticisms lodged against him for not having turned the investigation over to a special counsel.
Attorney General Ashcroft should recuse himself immediately, and yet we get continued mistakes and continued mishandling of this case," Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat from New York , said on the Senate floor.
"I have not foreclosed any option in this matter," Ashcroft said when asked about a special counsel.
