Ashcroft's Subpoena Blitz
Noah Leavitt, FindLaw.com, February 20, 2004
"The federal government has repeatedly promised - and Americans
have generally believed - that the government would violate civil
liberties only if necessary to pursue Al Qaeda and other terrorist
threats. But the events of the past two weeks have proven that
that simply isn't true. It's not accused Al Qaeda cell members
who are the targets here. Instead, the targets are universities,
peaceful protesters, civil rights attorneys, hospitals, and patients."
