Subject: Urgent Prayer Request for John Ashcroft!

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!

An urgent call has just been received from an Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice asking us to spread the word that Attorney General Ashcroft is in desperate need of prayer. They are asking all of us to get the word out to our churches and membership immediately. AG Ashcroft is in critical condition due to something called Gall Stone Pancreatitis. It is an infection of the pancreas due to a gall stone. You cannot live without your pancreas but the infection is so bad now that they cannot operate. Please pray that the infection will end and that the doctors can take care of the problem or just pray for healing. Jim Combey has been sworn in as the acting Attorney General for now.

-Your friends at www.conservativepetitions.com and www.christianpetitions.com

Subject: Prayer for John Ashcroft

Dear Conservative Petitions editor,

Your recent alert asked us to pray for John Ashcroft. I will very happily do so. I pray for that tyrant to die a slow and very painful death. He has done more to destroy America in 3 short years than Clinton did in eight. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. one. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. two. The American Gestapo, er... Department of Homeland Security. The TSA. The end of habeus corpus. If he doesn't die in the hospital, he should be hanged for treason.

I agree. As a Libertarian I don't believe in initiating force, but if Ashcroft should happen to die of his medical problems, then I will say: Sic semper tyrannis!

# William L. Anderson and Candice Jackson at LewRockwell.com - Ashcroft Gets His Pound of Flesh - on the conviction, in a federal kangaroo court, of Martha Stewart. [lew]
No doubt, at this very minute, the mainstream press is hanging onto every word of the "victorious" federal prosecutors who tried this case. Being that John Ashcroft at this moment is in intensive care in a hospital, we suppose he cannot stride up to a bank of microphones and crow to the press. However, his number two man, James Comey, the U.S. attorney who first gained the indictments against Stewart and her broker, no doubt right now is telling the awestruck press how " the system works."

Indeed, this system does work -- it works as well as anything Josef Stalin created in the 1930s with his infamous "Moscow Show Trials," in which guilt was assured, and the only question was the mode of execution. In retrospect, we realize now that the Stewart trial was indeed a show trial. Most likely, Stewart had convinced herself that she would be taking part in a real trial with real evidence and an impartial jury. Even her post-trial statement, "I believe in the fairness of the judicial system and remain confident that I will ultimately prevail," reflects the naïveté of someone who actually believes that federal courts are real courts.
