OMG! Ashcroft is now a lobbyist!
FOCUS | Ashcroft Profiting as National Security Lobbyist
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/081206X.shtml
Former US attorney general John D. Ashcroft has emerged as the highest-ranking former Bush administration official to lobby for and invest in companies involved in homeland security. Privacy experts and civil libertarians warn that these types of businesses are fast becoming a de facto branch of the government, beyond traditional oversight.

7. HAH! I think he career could be a short one!
Last I heard, the House & Senate plan on meeting something like another 10 days between now and the election. What good old John doesn't get done by the end of Oct. is most likely not going to get done! Too bad John. Guess you better try persuing that singing career you thought you had!
