I don't get the whole "if 9/11 had not happened" argument. It's not like Ashcroft has to take the time to do schlep work. He runs a department with 130,000 employees and $23 billion/year. In the past 4 years he's had access to nearly $100 billion and more than one billion man-hours (no shit)! It's not like Ashcroft and the DOJ have been so busy on terrorism they haven't had time for anything else. They've managed increased attention and resources to online crime and fraud, prison construction, Drug enforcement, and the INS.

Now Ashcroft is retiring. The people who said 4 years ago that Ashcroft would destroy the porn industry were just flat our wrong. Robert Fulghum was right. The little boy who cried wolf and Chicken Little should have taught us well.
Agreed 100% - if he was gonna do it, he woulda done it.

Remember, the sky never really "falls" - it just changes color
