Attorney General John Ashcroft is not rushing to the mikes and cameras to defend his assistant D.A. in Washington state who vowed to give a would-be terrorist who targeted American servicemen a light sentence to get "home by Christmas.” Just as the Department of Justice has stonewalled NewsMax.com for the past several weeks, four new phone inquiries in the past two days elicited no comment from the attorney general or his spokesman on a plea bargain last month with "anarchist" college student Paul Douglas Revak, charged with plotting to bomb Coast Guard and Army National Guard stations in Bellingham, Wash....

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Western Washington told us that Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Hamilton, who accepted a plea agreement that could have the "peacenik" would-be terrorist out of jail and home by Christmas, is out of the office and will not be back until Monday.
