I've been wanting to say something about John Ashcroft resigning his post as Attorney General. I'm sorry to see him go. This post at Power Line puts it well:
Ashcroft's mandate was clear, and he carried it out more successfully than, at that time, I would have considered possible... For that, John Ashcroft deserves a big share of the credit. He has our respect and our thanks for a job superbly well done.
Another one of the site's authors adds:
To me John Ashcroft is the unsung hero of the Bush administration. He has worked tirelessly to make this country safe and has received mostly vilification for his efforts. But then, the left vilified him above all others from the day he was nominated. His original sin, as far as I can tell, is his religious faith.
Update: Roger Simon lauds Ashcroft:
Then 9-11 came and Ashcroft's job became quite serious... We owe Ashcroft a debt of gratitude for his service during exceptionally difficult times. And personally, I think I have learned something from him in a strange way. I used to be rather intolerant of people of faith. I am now less so.
