I had heard Ashcroft wanted to leave (he was evidently rethinking priorities after his health issues).

But I really believe that the reason we have not been attacked again by AQ is in large part because of John Ashcroft.

I think he has done things behind the scenes to thward numerous attacks, none of which we'll ever hear about.

You're ABSOLUTELY right .. Ashcroft has been a true soldier in this WOD .. relentless and indomitable in his pursuit of America's safety and protection. We WILL never know 1/10th of what his and his lieutenant's actions prevented.

God Bless you and your family, John Ashcroft .. your dedication and determination to keep the evil ones away from us will never be forgotten. You gave of yourself with nobility and served with honor, Sir. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your life.

I have great respect for John Ashcroft and I pray for his good health and happiness. Thank you, AG Ashcroft, for all you've done.
