John Ashcroft is eminiently moral. Does that imply he's ethical, empathetic, or sensitive to the points of view of the rest of America? Not so much.

Let's hear it for scary librarians! I would wager than none is as scary as John Ashcroft and his unAmerican Patriot Act. Moral? Ashcroft? As if.

Eric, Reason Magazine links to this article from the Washington Times in which former assistant attorney general Viet Dinh is quoted as saying that libraries had been contacted under Sec. 215 of the Patriot Act "about 50" times in 2002, and a survey of libraries found sixty such instances. Moral as he may be, I don't trust John Ascroft to defend my best interests as a citizen any farther than I can spit a rat. By the way, my wife is a librarian, and she is indeed scary.
