Alaska scenario? It's late but I'll go look for a couple of articles. I didn't mean a true uprising, as in they were trying to lynch him. It's just that Alaska (along with Hawaii) have passed STATE resolutions censuring the USA PATRIOT Act, which is a fascist piece of legislation passed knee-jerk style in the wake of Sept 11. But it is over a thousand pages long and was OBVIOUSLY fashioned beforehand, just waiting for the 'Pearl Harbor event' mentioned in Cheney/Rusfeld's PNAC document in '98. The PATRIOT Act guts the Fourth Amendment right against unfair govt search and seizure, among other things. Lots of cities and counties have passed resolutions against it, but only two states. And Ashcroft went to Alaska on some bogus trip at taxpayer expense and delivered a bogus lecture on how the PATRIOT Act doesn't threaten anyone...
I don't know...I just think it's good that Ashcroft has to go around putting out grassfires. He's the appointee of an appointee. In his last bid for office, his rival was Wellstoned two weeks before the election, and Missouri STILL elected the dead man over Ashcroft. Now the rest of the nation is coming to understand why.
