DOSSIER OF ASHCROFT AND BUSH
Thanks to the good folks over at TalkLeft.com, I've learned about an interesting new website called The Dossiers. From TalkLeft:
Emma Goldman of Notes on the Atrocities deserves a major award for her new dossier on John Ashcroft. It is likely the most comprehensive, sourced analysis of him available in one place. We can only guess at the number of hours and days it took her to compile this.
Dig just below the surface of the Ashcroft dossier, and you find information like this:
On May 8, Attorney General John Ashcroft filed an amicus curiae ('friend of the court') brief for the defense in a civil case alleging that the oil company Unocal was complicit in forced labor and other abuses committed by the Burmese military during the construction of the Yadana gas pipeline. The case, John Doe I, et al. v. Unocal Corporation, et al., was originally filed in 1996 and is currently being reheard by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Visit The Dossiers website by clicking here. The site also contains an in-depth profile of President George W. Bush, and promises dossiers on Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in the near future.
