Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision <http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-turley14aug14.story> COMMENTARY Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision Attorney general shows himself as a menace to liberty. By JONATHAN TURLEY Jonathan Turley is a professor of constitutional law at George Washington University. August 14 2002 Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft's announced desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be "enemy combatants" has moved him from merely being a political embarrassment to being a constitutional menace. Ashcroft's plan, disclosed last week but little publicized, would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts by declaring them enemy combatants.
