Prosecutor in terror case controversy sues Ashcroft
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal prosecutor in a major terrorism case in Detroit has taken the rare step of suing Attorney General John Ashcroft, alleging the Justice Department interfered with the case, compromised a confidential informant and exaggerated results in the war on terrorism.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Convertino of Detroit accused the Justice Department of "gross mismanagement" of the war on terrorism in a whistleblower lawsuit filed late Friday in federal court in Washington.

2. Convertino should sue

FBI tactics may end up costing him the case on the Dearborn terrorists. The case is going to the apellate court due to some bad moves on the part of the Ministry of Love. It seems that the FBI witheld some information from pretrial discovery.
