The One Where Asscroft Gets Yet Another New One Ripped Special

Asscroft, they're onto you: they noticed that when Coleen Rowley's devastating testimony was fresh news, you charged "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla. Woops, facts wrong, Padilla will be charged with something a little less sexy - blowing up apartments by renting them, then rigging their gaslines to blow simultaneously.

Now that the memo you refused, in contempt of Congress no less, to release has been posted by the Washington Times...

The memo came out late Sunday. Mr. Ashcroft called a press conference yesterday — to announce an indictment against a man accused of plotting to blow up a shopping mall in Ohio. The timing was, I'm sure, purely coincidental.

Remember when we were all too afraid to go to Woodfield Mall back in the days immediately following 9/11? Well golly, it was real. Wasn't it? Isn't it?

What other big fears do we have? Oh, yes - the terrorists will blow up a nuke plant or cause another cascading power failure. I expect the next embarassment to the Asscroft feudal theocracy formerly known as Justice will result, within a week, of an arrest of someone wanting to blow up some power plants.
