Generally Speaking.

"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved," writes soon-to-be former Attorney General John Ashcroft, in his resignation letter to President Bush.

Come again?

Ashcroft, perhaps the least competent Attorney General in modern history, leaves the post having accomplished not a single victory in his war on terror (though he's gotten a few in his war on civil liberties.) Anyone who believes the world is any safer now than it was on 9/10/01 should not have a job in Washington.
