ashcroft’s handwritten resignation
i expected to see more about this, but i haven’t – and that’s probably because i haven’t been seeing much of anything lately, but… i want to raise the question with the changing of the guard over at the department of justice with this thought:
ashcroft’s resignation letter was handwritten “so its confidentiality can be maintained.” [text of the letter from cnn]
does this mean that ashcroft can’t even trust his own staff? how can we have any faith in a federal department that is populated by untrustworthy staff? how many people does it take to type a resignation letter? one? three? and in the whole department, ashcroft couldn’t find them?
or is it just paranoia?
and then how do you feel about living under the ‘protective custody” of the paranoia of the nation’s chief law enforcement officer for four years?
