If you're interested (or bored) do research re: Ashcroft on this issue. I've seen a few not very well reported inferences that Ashcroft was approached with this plan (some say while he was sick in a hospital) and turned it down concerned it was not legal. Mewonders if there was some reason in him leaving his position and Gonzales taking it related to this.

Not to be Dan Brown conspiracy or anything but I think Jesus made Bush do it.
