WASHINGTON – Former Attorney General John Ashcroft and one of his hardline lieutenants face the rare prospect of being held personally liable for alleged violations of individuals' rights in the aggressive aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
High-ranking officials usually are protected from such civil rights claims. Not necessarily in these cases.
Three federal courts have left open the possibility that former Bush officials may have to reach into their own pockets to compensate people who were swept up in the law enforcement and intelligence efforts after the Sept. 11 attacks.

And who is responsible for killing 2900 people on 9/11?
isnt this unconstitutional?
Dear God how the MSM loves dumping on Bush
If this happens we should do something, not sure what but We, the People should not let that stand
LLS
Will Janet Reno also be held liable for killing 50-60 people at Waco?
Bush officials need to make it clear that they will not cooperate with the Marxist Kangaroo Court.
Anything to divert and distract from the real problems.
This is the insanity and hate of the Marxist tyranny that is now choking our country and its Constitution. Whatever these monstrous thugs do to these guys, let’s hope it gets turned around on them. It is about time that this country starts fighting back against its INTERNAL ENEMIES.
“hardline lieutenants”?
No slant here...move along folks...move along...
Yet zero is demandig that lawsuits against iran and saudi arabia for acts of terror against Americican’s be dropped.....
There was a plan put in place in 2006 in which President Bush and certain officials of his administration will be brought up on civil changes. This was explained by Rep. Diane Watson at a presentation hosted by avowed Communist then CA Assembly leader Karen Bass. She hastily threw this out as a way to calm the nasty Lefty crowd who were ready to riot when told that Bush wouldn’t be impeached due to the lack of votes. She said it was “Speaker Pelosi’s secret plan.” Richard McEnroe and I reported this on Powerline, then Michelle Malkin at Hot Air picked it up, and then Rush Limbaugh picked it up (beaming with pride).
It’s Bush officials and Bush appointed judges involved so the officials must be guilty. /sarc
AP has it all figured out.
Somebody wants a revolution, don’t they?
Well, well, I guess it’s now ok to try the current Administration for Treason and Failing to uphold the Constitution when these sorry sob’s are out of office!
But Roman Polanski should go free (according to the libs). Guess it’s OK to rape and sodomize a 13 year old girl.
I’d love to see Ashcroft get his day in court. He was the only one with the stones to nail Jamie Gorelick’ butt to the wall in the 9-11 hearings. I’m sure he is privvy to much more that could be added to the public record.
What goes around, comes around.
Conservatives or Republicans will be in control of the government someday and looking back at a Democrat presidency.
Good Grief..
