"The letter from Ashcroft, 62, who has been a lightning rod for criticism by Democrats and civil liberties activists, was dated Nov. 2, Election Day, but was not released until Tuesday. In a separate letter to colleagues at the Justice Department, he said he would stay on until his successor was confirmed."
Media reports here in Europe say that Condolezza (where did that name come from ?) Rice also wants to get out of the Bush goverment.
Seems the mandate that the 51% of the 60% of voters, isn't all the appealing.
Yes, I beleive there are very few, if any members, of his cabinet; that are not tainted by making false or misleading statements. I only hope that his press secretary(s) would also resign. The guy talks for an hour & does'nt answer one question

It's an exercise in futility to get an honest answer out of that guy. They should'nt call it a question & answer period, they should refer to them as question & evasion/non-answer period

They're all like that, David. The unvarnished truth doesn't apply to politics anywhere, anymore. It's all about media management and spin, if you ask me.
This applies here equally. A straight "yes or no" answer is about as common as a Dodo.
If you want the truth - never ask a lawyer or a politician (or their press sec.)
You implied the President got Dr. Rice "from the same stable" as General Powell. Using the word "stable" is quite inflammatory since Dr. Rice and General Powell both rose to their positions by their merits alone, Dr. Rice at Stamford and General Powell in the US Army.

Check out the word 'stable' in the dictionary, and tell me where it states that it is inflammatory. I was referring to the fact that they are in the same group together, ergo Bush is in the same stable. That's that bit sorted, now explain why you used the libellous term 'racist' when I've always supported black Americans and their attempts for equality.
This is the man who said to General Clark-" I Don't want to hear anymore about them (al-qaeda)!!! " prior to sept 11. Pretty damning remark that he will have to live with for the rest of his life; not to mention Bush/Rove/"Rummy"/Powell. They all agreed to "table" or remove from the "front burner" recommendations, made to them by the outgoing Clinton admin., in re: al-qaeda.

Interestingly, the Clinton administration never attempted to do anything about Al-Qaeda. If Clinton thought it was so imperative why didn't they do something?

That's odd 😕 I seem to remember Clinton ordering a tomohawk cruise missle attack, on an al-qaeda training camp; in afghanistan, which was carried out.
