I think we're reading too much into this, though I opened a bottle of Korbel to toast Ashcroft resigning. He duped us all into thinking he actually would put his personal beliefs aside to fulfill his position...
And I also would be glad to see the Patriot Act go as well... Prove it actually saved that bridge, and that it would not have been saved with the powers in existence prior to it passing.
Both Ascroft and the Patriot Act were attacks on our freedoms which are victories for the terrorists.
