Thanks for this post! I read Napalitano's Lynne Stewart "oped" last week and even my slow brain was wondering how John Ashcroft could have violated so many rights when the blind shiek's trial was over years before Ashcroft was AG.
I know nothing about legal issues but everytime I hear Napolitano I get the feeling he's an ignorant windbag.It's so great to have my gut feeling confirmed by genuine smart guy Andrew McCArthy!
