Attorney General John Ashcroft, one of the most controversial members of the Bush cabinet has resigned.
Ashcroft's critics cheered his departure. "We wish John Ashcroft good health and a good retirement. And we hope the president will choose a less polarizing attorney general as his successor," said Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y.
Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites), said, "Mr. Ashcroft's legacy has been an open hostility to protecting civil liberties and an outright disdain for those who dare to question his policies." |
