John Ashcroft Opens Up to NY Times
This coming Sunday, the New York Times will feature a q and a with former Attorney General John Ashcroft. Among the suprising revelations: He makes barbed-wire sculputures in his spare time. Other nuggets:
Ashcroft also suggests the American Civil Liberties Union opposed the Patriot Act partly to make money and add members.
.... Ashcroft, a leading evangelical, admits he is a sinner, explaining, "I'm unkind on occasion, and I am selfish." He's an active Christian "because I am not good, because I need help."
Ask about specific "sins," Ashcroft says he has "never had a mixed drink," never smoked a cigarette, and if tempted by another woman he would immediately call "my wife."
