Ashcroft has his teeth sunk in on this one

I never did see any response from him on that statement of His Slowliness the Dope about Christians and Muslims worshipping the same god. Did anyone else?

A new superseding indictment against civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart comes four months after a federal judge dismissed similar charges against her saying they were unconstitutionally vague.

The government filed fresh charges yesterday against New York civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart. She is accused of providing assistance to imprisoned radical Egyptian cleric Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman.

Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the charges brought against Stewart and two alleged co-conspirators - postal worker Ahmed Sattar and translator Mohammed Yousry,

The new superceding indictment comes after a federal judge in July dismissed charges that the three had conspired to provide material support to Abdel Rahman's Islamic Group – which is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.
