My prediction - Ashcroft is barely touched in the findings. The prelims already released end up way toned down. Someone remembers that Ashcroft brought up the wall only because Ben-Veniste was yelling about the CIA not telling the FBI about two terrorists in the country, and Ashcroft was pointing out that they couldn't tell that, because of the wall. (This crap about Ashcroft bringing this up sua sponte as a cheap shot is crap, just like the "Rice was only asked about the title of that memo, not the memo itself" line was crap.)
The hearings, aside from Ben-V and a few others' contributions, have actually impressed me. The writings of people about those same hearings haven't.
