“Attorney General John Ashcroft has earned himself a remarkable distinction as the Torquemada of American law. Tomás de Torquemada...was largely responsible for...[the] torture and the burning of heretics — Muslims in particular. Now, of course, I am not accusing the Attorney General of pulling out anyone's fingernails or burning people at the stake (at least I don't know of any such cases). But one does get the sense these days that the old Spaniard's spirit is comfortably at home in Ashcroft's Department of Justice.” PeopleKnowsDoeHomeLawSpiritCoursesJusticeCasesParticularResponsibleBurningThese DaysTortureDepartmentDistinctionRemarkableStakesTomsPullingAttorneyHereticFingernailsAccusingSpaniardsAmerican Law Author:Walter Cronkite
