Yes, of course. Ashcroft can't win for losing. If he didn't say anything and he knew something and something happened, he would get blamed. Now, he goes out and TELLS US that there is an UNSPECIFIED terrorist alert going out (which basically means he got info that's credible but he didn't get any details) and people are still complaining. Some people will never be happy, will they?

Yes, You are correct. Y'know....I kinda think we're being told - YOUR responsible for your selves....which is GOOD - isn't that what we all have been preaching - that we should take more responsibility for ourselves....which to me is also what a citizen militia is about - only in this case, our eyes, ears, and mouths are probably more important than guns....

Yes, Ashcroft is damned either way. I trust his judgement in these matters over the surplus of wags that just like to hear themselves talk.
