Ashcroft Hospitalized With Pancreatitis

[Andy_Stephenson]

WASHINGTON - Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) has been hospitalized in an intensive care unit for a severe case of gallstone pancreatitis, a painful condition that usually clears up within a week with treatment.


Ashcroft, a 61-year-old former Missouri senator who has been free of health problems, canceled an appearance Thursday afternoon at which he was to have announced verdicts in a terrorism case.

4. I'd like to think God wouldn't let us down here

But She let Hitler live. Stalin. Molotov. Castro. Mao. Pol Pot. Duvalier. Marcos.

God will not help us. God does not care whether people live free or not or all of those people would have been struck dead for their crimes against humanity.

If God didn't smite those monsters, much greater in their evil than Heinrich A$$croft is (at this point in his career as Minister of Selective Prosecution and Fake Investigations of Friends, I am compelled to add), then I think old Heinrich A. is safe from being smitten.

Would that it were not so and I will go to Synagogue tomorrow to give thanks if God should decide to reverse Her policy on Tyrants.
