Ashcroft made it very clear that he flew on federal planes when traveling on federal business...and public transportation all other times.

He did not "lease a private plane".

And..btw...why do family members get to ask questions?! What is this...a segment of the Ophrah show?

Haven't you heard? Chris Matthews said that the ONLY reason we're even having this hearing is becasue of the Jersey Widows!

Heck, they even tried to get Kristen on that panel when Max Cleland stepped down. Imagine what that would be like!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the SS recommended it because of all the guns they carry!

As Rush stated today, they are trying to sell the lie that "Bush Knew". So every kook conspiracy theory is getting thrown out to 1) try and confuse the general public 2)get it in the commissions transcript.

If it's in the transcript, the line of attack will be "according to the 9/11 commission, Ashcroft was flying private aircraft because he knew 9/11 was going to happen." Doesn't matter if Ashcroft disproved the myth.
