ASHCROFT'S MISGUIDED POLICIES TARGET AMERICANS

Thank you for printing Ellen Goodman's column concerning John 
Ashcroft's political crusade that's terrorizing sick and dying 
Americans.

Unfortunately Goodman missed an earlier act of terrorism by Ashcroft 
and his henchmen just one week prior to Sept. 11. In an incident that 
went largely unreported outside of Michigan, FBI sharpshooters 
slaughtered two of America's sons and burned a local campground, 
Waco-style, in a dispute over music festivals and pro-marijuana 
events.

So, while Attorney General John Ashcroft fiddled at the Rainbow 
Campground massacre, the World Trade Center was about to suffer the 
deadly consequences of his folly. Ashcroft clearly needs to get his 
priorities straight, but maybe he needs a little guidance.

Maybe it's time to focus the Justice Department's energies on a real 
threat and stop threatening our fellow Americans.
