Donna H. (webscribe) reviewed Never Again: Securing America and Restoring Justice (Audio CD) (Abridged) on + 4 more book reviews
John Ashcroft presents his very persuasive view points about national security, delivered in his own smooth voice on about 5 CDs. His defense of his controversial law enforcement measures (the PATRIOT Act) in tension with liberal political opposition certainly provides fodder for contemplation of our complex, often competing needs for privacy and surveillance. No matter what side of the fence you are on you ought to discover some new angles and details about the 911 terrorists to temper your opinion. I think an unabridged version would be even better. Better yet would be to include his stand on the war in Iraq. I suspect he supported it; if that is his feeling, his disclosure would taint my view of his ethics, but he chose to dodge that issue and came across as sincere and dedicated.
