I wonder if this will stand. If it does, Ashcroft should demand a jury trial in Lower Manhattan.

By the wacko “9th Circuit”. How come their chambers never get caught in those Califorina bush fires?

They should be forced to buy carbon credits they produce so much methane gas from the BS they spew.

Maybe they just really, really like having their verdicts overturned.

It is not known as the 9th Circus for nothing.

Daniel Pipes (a source which is banned from use for creating threads on FR) points out quite frankly that Islam made the difference (and he cheers that). However, the usage of the religion factor may not fare as well in our current courts.

Things were pretty insane after 911 and I would not be surprised if mistakes were made. If the government messed up they should make proper restitution and call it a day.
None of the money will come out of the former AGs pocket.
If this happened to me I know I would be pissed.

Maybe I’m going on out of date information. At one point, at least, Pipes was banned from FR as a “bigot.” I think I tried to post something from Pipes once and was greeted by such an auto-refusal. Of course one man’s bigot might be another man’s commonsense freedom fighter.

He may be attempting to bid up the settlement by pushing for a trial. Why, Obama himself might personally slip him some hush money.

...Abdullah Al-Kidd, a U.S. citizen detained as a material witness for two weeks, may sue the former attorney general for breaching his constitutional rights. Al-Kidd claimed during the case that his brief imprisonment caused him to lose a scholarship and crippled his chances of finding employment...
...so would the gallows. Or a bullet in a sensitive area. Y'know, apropos of nothing. Hey, at least he wasn't forced to wear panties on his head.

"Former Attorney General John Ashcroft may be sued and held liable for wrongly detaining witnesses after the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.
Oh my. Wouldn't it be a shame if someone mentioned FDR...
