The Commission might ask Ashcroft why he started to fly on Government jets in July 01. So far he hasn't given satifactory answers

3. Oh my goodness! Say it ain't so!
Could there be a crack in the wall of lies? Might a sliver of the light of truth shine in?

Ashcroft Travel Alert Didn't Involve Bin Laden

Thursday, May 16, 2002

WASHINGTON — Attorney General John Ashcroft was urged in May 2001 by his top security experts not to fly aboard commercial aircraft because of personal threats on his life, not out of fears about terrorist hijackings, the Justice Department said Thursday.

The department moved quickly to quell suggestions that Ashcroft, who routinely flies aboard a small jet operated by the FBI, took precautions for his own safety in the months before Sept. 11 based on warnings of any threats involving Usama bin Laden or the Al Qaeda terrorist network.

"It was completely unrelated to this," Justice spokesman Mark Corallo said, referring to what the White House described as general information conveyed to President Bush in August that bin Laden's group might be planning to hijack planes.

Ashcroft declined to discuss the issue while visiting Thursday with Bulgarian justice officials in his office. Ashcroft walked from the room without comment when a reporter asked about it.
