Ashcroft had been a Senator, and Governor, and was still getting his sea-legs at the Justice Dept., which is a HUGE agency. He should not be blamed for 9-11, although a case can be made for the culpability of the Clinton-carryovers which were allowed to stay on...those like FBI Dir. Louis Freeh and CIA Dir. George Tenet. And it didn't help to keep Norman Minetta on, and put him into the DOT, which oversees the FAA. These were the most visible of the weak links in our domestic security.

To blame Ashcroft for 9/11 is ridiculous. No one could have forseen the events that took place. Yes there were signs but putting the dots together with the lack of information sharing between agencies made it almost impossible. That is what Ashcroft accomplished taking the lessons we learned and applying them to today's needs in regards to law enforcement.

What are you, a DU troll? He had barely enough time to get his business cards printed before 9/11 hit.

Well, at least your not generalizing. Not like those goof ball trolls from D/U. Right? ; )

Hi, new poster! Welcome to FR!

Care to comment on what the former incumbent of the Attorney General's chair was doing prior to 9/11?

Hey, thread spamming LYING troll: Gore lost, Kerry lost.
We are now doing something about the terrorists despite you wanting to hug them and sing kumbaya with them.
Get over it.
