It's payback time, so I suppose it's inevitable that Bush will give appointments to a few archconservatives. If he really does want to honor his promise to take the middle road, you'd think he'd keep the extremists out of the most powerful positions. Still, I don't see that the appointment of Ashcroft does anything to promote terrorism - I don't see the logic there. Ashcroft may be opposed to abortion, but that doesn't mean he favors bombing abortion clinics.
