	Text: Ashcroft Comments on Anti-Terror Policy (washingtonpost.com)
		But given our democratic society's strong tradition of protecting civil liberties, all of us, especially members of this committee, have an interest in the general procedures and policies, as well as the specific facts and circumstances, under which any American citizen may be designated and detained as an enemy combatant.
		The kind of atrocities which the senator has recited and which he has displayed in the photographs that he raised are being prosecuted by this administration.
		And indeed it was the 107th Congress who voted, by 98-0 in the Senate and 421 in the House, to authorize the use of military force.

	The American Spectator
		Published 1/21/2005 12:09:38 AM Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter went back on his word to Republican caucus members and conservative groups alike when he recently hired Hannibal G. Williams II Kemerer, who until recently was the NAACP's assistant general counsel.
		According to Senate insiders, Brownback was very active early in the controversy in November and early December when Specter's candidacy and position as Judiciary Chairman was in doubt.
		As for Senate Republican leadership, it is believed that Sen. Bill Frist is not necessarily inclined to prevent his caucus from taking steps either to punish Specter or to leave him twisting in the wind.
