Department of Injustice

I wish John Ashcroft would get his act together or at least be a little consistent.

In Germany, he was withholding evidence from a trial and forcing that case to collapse and the govt. to let possible terrorists go free. (The US has finally relented.)

Here at home, his people have been withholding evidence so they could win a trial and claim a terrorist cell had been defeated. [Go to bottom of link for story.]

That's just too confusing. Please either withhold evidence to win a trial or lose a trial; doing both just gives me a headache.

Thanks to a witness who says that a "surveillance video" was actually "sightseeing pictures taken on a student trip," not to mention all that withheld evidence the Justice Dept. admitted to, this blow against Al Quaeda looks shaky. But hey, even if it turns out to be an unfair trial, that's gotta be better than no trial at all, right J.A.? So what are they moaning about?
