Checkout some of the ideas of Bush's proposed new US attorney general, Sen
John Ashcroft.
Anti-abortion and pro-death penalty, Ashcroft last year put together the
highly controversial so-called "Methamphetamine Anti-proliferation act",
("so-called" because it covertly attempted to attack proponents of any
restricted substance, not just meth), last year and has been involved in
much highly suspect proposed legislation in general.

PS - A commentary on the US Methamphetamine Anti-proliferation Act 1999,
exploring how the US government uses "Trojan Horse" tactics to conceal
ludicrously restrictive legal measures in otherwise fairly reasonable
legislation, is online at www.ibogaine.co.uk/antiprol.htm
Ashcroft Nomination for Attorney General Bodes Ill for Drug
Policy Reform
http://www.drcnet.org/wol/166.html#ashcroft
In a decision with important implications for drug policy,
President-elect George W. Bush has nominated Senator John
Ashcroft (R-M)) to be his Attorney General. Ashcroft, who lost a
November Senate race to the late Gov. Mel Carnahan, is also a
former Missouri governor and attorney general. He is also a
self-described Christian conservative who neither smokes, drinks,
nor dances, and has a long record as staunch drug warrior.
An anti-abortion, pro-death penalty ideologue, Ashcroft stands to
be a polarizing figure. His ratings by various advocacy groups
suggest a sharp divide: He scores 100% with the conservative
Christian Coalition and Phyllis Schafly's Eagle Forum, but gets a
big fat goose egg from liberal groups such as the National
Organization for Women and the League of Conservation voters.
The Leadership Conference for Civil Rights gave Ashcroft a 10%
rating.
Civil rights, civil liberties, and women's groups are already
gearing up to challenge the nomination in the Senate, and drug
policy activists are busily plotting whether and how to help,
though the conventional wisdom is that Ashcroft will be seated as
the next Attorney General.
Ashcroft introduced the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act to
increase penalties for manufacturing or trafficking that drug,
and some of his comments on that occasion give insight into both
Ashcroft's thinking and why drug reformers are worried about it:
"... But there is another factor that motivates my opposition to
meth: I want to fight meth because its use and production is
wrong. And too few people are willing to stand up these days and
call drugs wrong... much of our current predicament stems from
the permissive attitudes that emerged from the 1960s. The decay
of enforcement that began in the 1960s helped to cause the
problems of the succeeding decades... Laws are what protects
society from anarchy. And when we choose not to enforce our
laws, our laws lose their effectiveness, and the bulwark against
anarchy withers."
The Meth Act was just Ashcroft's main attraction this year.
Outside the spotlight, he was busy preparing legislation crafted
to ensure that no one escapes the drug war dragnet and to punish
and punish again those who get caught. For instance:
S. 587: A bill to provide for the mandatory suspension of
federal benefits to convicted drug traffickers.
S. 2008: A bill to require the pre-release drug testing of
federal prisoners. (This masterpiece of vindictiveness demands
that prisoners be tested prior to release and, if their tests are
dirty, that the information be turned over to local prosecutors
for possible new charges of violating drug or prison contraband
laws.)
S. 2517: A bill to amend the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act and the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 to allow
school personnel to apply appropriate discipline measures to all
students in cases involving weapons, illegal drugs, and assaults
upon teachers. (Just because a kid is crippled doesn't mean we
shouldn't be able to get him on drug charges.)
Ashcroft has been riding the meth menace for some time, and has
bragged on his campaign web site and on the Senate floor about
such victories as the "one strike and you're out" policy for
methamphetamine violators living in public housing, securing the
death penalty for some methamphetamine offenses, and securing
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) status for his
state.
But his concerns with drug policy extend far beyond the borders
of the Show-Me state. In 1998, he co-authored measures
preventing Washington, DC's needle exchange program from
obtaining local funding. In fact, he went further than that. He
even attempted to block studies of
