Ashcroft Defends FBI Interviews With Some Political Protesters

[lil-petunia]

- - - Ashcroft said FBI agents interviewed only protesters they believed were plotting to firebomb media vehicles at the Democratic convention or might have known about such plots.

Ashcroft said suggestions that the interviews were aimed at stifling protests were an "outrageous distortion."

"We interviewed a very limited number of people that we believed were either participating in a plan to criminally and violently disrupt the Democratic National Convention, or individuals that might have known something about that plan," Ashcroft said.

Did he admit how many of those interviewed were in wheelchairs? Major firebomb threat, those evil rollers. They may do a wheelie while rolling away.

EDIT: Were they gagged so they couldn't speak up about it like Sibel Edmonds?
