WASHINGTON - Departing Attorney General John Ashcroft on Friday lashed out at federal judges who have dealt setbacks to President George W. Bush's anti-terrorism and wartime policies, accusing them of "invasive oversight and micromanagement."
"The danger I see here is that intrusive judicial oversight and second-guessing of presidential determinations in these critical areas can put at risk the very security of our nation in a time of war," Ashcroft said in his first speech since his resignation became public Tuesday.
"These encroachments include some of the most fundamental aspects of the president's conduct of the war on terrorism," he told the Federalist Society, a conservative lawyers group with close ties to the Bush administration.
