| | Ashcroft Refuses to Release '02 Memo (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | Attorney General John D. Ashcroft told Congress yesterday that he would not release a 2002 policy memo on the degree of pain and suffering legally permitted during enemy interrogations, but said he knows of no presidential order that would allow al Qaeda suspects to be tortured by U.S. personnel. | | | Ashcroft added that although he would not comment on the contents of the memo, "it is not the job of the Justice Department or this administration to define torture." | | | The documents reflect discussions on the legality of softening prohibitions against inflicting pain on al Qaeda suspects abroad, saying the practice may sometimes be justified. |

| | Abortion rights, however, may come before the Supreme Court, and as attorney general, he would have a role in deciding the government's position and in picking the Supreme Court justices who will decide the case. | | | But neither he nor Bush has said much to indicate their position on the Microsoft antitrust litigation, though the scuttlebutt, based on nothing in particular, is that an Ashcroft Justice Department might dismiss the case. | | | His views have angered liberal activists who are seeking to block his nomination. |

| | Ashcroft over the extent to which this "wall" was required by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillence Act and various court opinions, that dispute should be aired in front of the Commission, not between a witness and a purportedly disinterested Commissioner. | | | Ashcroft : On Tuesday, the Solicitor General petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari in my medical cannabis case of Raich v. | | | The Victims' Rights Amendment, cosponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Kyl, would make victims' rights a federal matter -- so the important decisions will be made by federal judges, not by state voters and lawmakers. |
