This is somewhat unfair. Ashcroft's answers were as bland and
uninformative as possible, because he is being borked. No matter what he
said, it will be used against him, so the best bet is to say as little as
possible.
If he said any good things on privacy, it would be used against him as gun
issue is. If he said bad things on privacy, it would be used against him
as the abortion issue is.
