in commondreams.org from yesterday’s LA Times: Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft’s Hellish Vision by Jonathan Turley. “The proposed camp plan should trigger immediate congressional hearings and reconsideration of Ashcroft’s fitness for this important office. Whereas Al Qaeda is a threat to the lives of our citizens, Ashcroft has become a clear and present threat to our liberties.” It’s alternatively sad, confusing, and outrageous that Ashcroft isn’t a totally marginal character well outside the mainstream of American political life.
