Attorney General Ashcroft has ruled that given the way the law has been written, the Department of Gun Purchases cannot reveal to the FBI the weapons purchase histories of the terrorist suspects now in custody.
General Ashcroft can refuse to make their names public and can listen in on consultations with their attorneys, but he can't reveal to the FBI the fact that they may have obtained a boxcar load of AK-47's. I confess that even though I'm a strong 2A kind of guy, I'm at loss for words on this absurdity.
