Ashcroft Must Go
by TChris
Paul Krugman argues that John Ashcroft is "the worst attorney general in history." Here's a taste:
Perhaps most telling is the way Mr. Ashcroft responds to criticism of his performance. His first move is always to withhold the evidence. Then he tries to change the subject by making a dramatic announcement of a terrorist threat.
An AG who is more interested in attacking civil liberties than terrorists has no business holding the office. Remember that a vote against Bush is a vote against Ashcroft. Remember too that a vote for Kerry is an effective vote against Ashcroft. The country can't afford to have him back for another four years.
