Title
"Ashcroft and military tribunals" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin expressing his concern regarding Attorney General John Ashcroft 's support of military tribunals post-9/11. According to AuCoin, Ashcroft, a supposed conservative, had promoted "sweeping prosecutorial powers," shocking civil libertarians, prominent conservatives, and law enforcement experts. Former director of the FBI and CIA William H. Webster had expressed his concerns with these new military tribunals set up to judge people suspected of terrorism. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in December 2001-2003.
