Department of Turnabout Is Fair Play

Our attorney general, Ashcroft, is being sued by one of his own prosecutors!

The whole brouhaha is a result of this botched anti-terror case in Detroit last year.

I, for one, am happy to see Ashcroft take it in the chin. By the way, in case you hadn't heard, the chaste antispeed freak is also being sued -- for torture! -- by the Center for Constitutional Rights.
