Samantha,
       Much the same happened after Dec 7, 1941. But, American courts
prevailed in those instances where wrong had been done.
       As to Donald Rumsfeld I suppose my mind is boggled. The man is in
charge of our country's military forces. The Military Forces of the United
States kill people in warfare. This country has had a war declared against
it by people that have attacked us a number of times. Donald Rumsfeld has
been in charge of the American Military Forces that counter attacked and
killed those that wanted to kill us -- so I suppose he could be described as
dangerous.
       You did a long attack on John Ashcroft but you gave us no details. I
know you cannot reasonably put into an email that might take a multi volume
book to detail and I won't be asinine enough to ask you. However in every
case I have ever heard of when we chase down the charges we find that he has
jugged people that were in this country illegally. He has also kept people
from comparing stories while our law enforcement folks interrogated them. I
understand that practice has caused useful information to be exposed.
       But I fear all of this has side tracked the core issues. Why is it
that John Ashcroft was a humdrum Missouri politician until he was over fifty
without anyone being afraid of him. Well okay, Democrats were occasionally
afraid of him at the polls but certainly no one else was. Then as soon as
Senator Leahy needed an issue for his committee John Ashcroft began to be
demonized.
       The other issue is exactly how would you have us go about ridding our
country of the thousands and some say millions of illegals that are in our
country. How would you have John Ashcroft seperate the ones that are here to
harm us from those that are here only because they didn't mind flagrantly
breaking our laws?
       But again, looking back at Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft is in charge
of criminal investigations, throwing people in the slammer, prosecuting them
and eventually imprisoning them. I suspect any man capable of doing such a
job is a pretty hard character on occasion.
