Case Against Ashcroft, Mueller Proceeding

[Rose Siding]

...And in what could turn out to be a landmark case, a lawsuit filed by two Brooklyn detainees against top Bush administration officials is moving forward in the federal courts in New York.

A judge turned down a request by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III and former Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft to dismiss the lawsuit against them. The case is before an appeals court, where a panel of three judges signaled last month that they too believed it should go forward.
...
Ashcroft and others have defended the detentions. In a new book, Ashcroft wrote: "Was it worth it to detain and charge hundreds … in order to find one or more of the key men sent to America to facilitate a second wave of attacks on the United States? I thought so then, and I think so more today."
...
(Elmaghraby) said he was repeatedly strip-searched, dragged on the ground and punched until his teeth shattered. He said that he was displayed naked in front of a female staffer, and that guards violated him with a flashlight and pencil.

Elmaghraby, 39, broke down crying in a recent interview. "They don't treat you like a person," he said. "They treat you like an animal."

He was held for nearly a year.....

5. So Glad Ashcroft Didn't Escape the Law, Yet!

If ever anyone deserved to be persecuted, er...prosecuted for malfeasance in office, it is Ashcroft along with all the other BushCo Bushbots. Too bad he looks relatively normal and legal, compared to the evil bastards in office now. We got a lot of cleaning up and jailing to do.
