Ashcroft and others Forced to Testify

Two men charged that they were abused in a detention center where they were held for 8 months. Looks like they'll have their day in court after all... and with John Ashcroft.

I've seen several judgments recently that give me hope.

NY Times

A federal judge in Brooklyn ruled yesterday that former Attorney General John Ashcroft, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other top government officials will have to answer questions under oath in a lawsuit that accuses them of personally conspiring to violate the rights of Muslim immigrants held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn after 9/11.

I say good. I don't care if you're a Satanist, if there are no charges against you, they have to let you go. If they want to search you, they need a warrant. They can't detain you because they "think" you "might" do something...they need to show cause. Reasonable suspicion, is it?
