Which leaves the question of his sensitivity? to the carping - moot. From what I saw of Ashcroft replying to concerns - he sees none. Those who oppose him are UnMurican. Pure & simple. (Have to ask the MO folk what he was doing to them, to earn his local opprobrium.?. couldnt'a been the ostentatious 'voluntary' prayer meetings as in DC, so it must have been something Else.)

This may change - if the UK folk opposing Ashcroft-style tampering, next find selves cowed into silence. I believe that's an ongoing Tony B. vs Them thing. So UK might.. go along with the secret tribunals. Might.

It I were bin-L's droids.. I'd see it like end of of WW-II: Germans would do Anything to surrender to US and not USSR. Er.. now we be USSR?

(Hmm is it unWahabbi to allow self to be captured?)
