The Ashcroft coverup comes to an end
With the Spirit of Justice statue behind him, Attorney General John Ashcroft addresses employees at the Justice Department in Washington in this Nov. 8, 2001, file photo. The statue was covered by drapes at Ashcroft’s order; those drapes have quietly been removed with the approval of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Now, all the U.S. Department of Justic has to worry about covering up are secret memos from the Attorney General advising how close we can get to torturing terrorists without technically violating the Geneva Conventions.
