Court: Ashcroft may be sued in 9/11 case - Security- msnbc.com updated 31 minutes ago

BOISE, Idaho - A federal appeals court delivered a stinging rebuke Friday to the Bush administration?s post-Sept. 11 detention policies, ruling that former Attorney General John Ashcroft can be held liable for people who were wrongfully detained as material witnesses after 9/11.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the government?s improper use of material witnesses after Sept. 11 was ?repugnant to the Constitution and a painful reminder of some of the most ignominious chapters of our national history.?

The court found that a man who was detained as a witness in a federal terrorism case can sue Ashcroft for allegedly violating his constitutional rights. Abdullah al-Kidd, a U.S. citizen and former University of Idaho student, filed the lawsuit against Ashcroft and other officials in 2005, claiming his civil rights were violated when he was detained as a material witness for two weeks in 2003.

You forgot to tell us you are a moderate republican. Don't get too excited, the 9th Circuit has a tendency to get it wrong.

Nothing is going to happen to anyone in the Bush administration. They kept us safe here in the US for 8 years.

Just a lot of saber rattling by the Obama crowd trying desparately to take the focus off a rapidly deteriorating situation economically and politically for the current administration. But, the American people are way to smart be fooled by this low life tactic.

Your side won the power. It is fading quickly. You are trying to hang on for dear life. Unfortunately for your side, the country tends to lean right of center.

As Barack "no moral compass, let's see what the polls are telling me to do today" Obama, Nancy "botox and G5" Pelosi, Harry "can't even lead a horse to water" Reid, work on a hard left agenda, the people are revolting. The polls aren't lying.

I just hope that when the Republicans get control again in the near future that they stick to their guns and don't go off the reservation like they did from 2002-2008.

I wonder at what point in time will the Courts finally rule that the "Patriot Act" is also unconstitutional.

I think its funny how the left likes to use the Constitution to go after the Bush administration but totally ignores it when pushing its socialist agenda.
There's nothing constitutional about taking over the banks, auto industry, health care, etc. I'll bet Ol' Bob knows the reason behind this.

Seriously! I don't think people realize just what it allows the government to do.

And there's nary a peep from all the supposedly non-partisan tea party folk about such a frighteningly powerful piece of legislation!!!

Guess they're too busy stockpiling ammo.
