Ashcroft vs student – 0 : 1

Seems like Mr. Ashcroft didn’t stand up well at all against some students in a public form, please read the full transcript for more (and it wouldn’t hurt too much either if the original site gets more hits).

STUDENT: Actually, Mr. Ashcroft, my question was about this other document. (laughter and applause) This other document is a section from the judgment of the Tokyo War Tribunal.  After WWII, the Tokyo Tribunal was basically the Nuremberg Trials for Japan.  Many Japanese leaders were put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including torture.  And among the tortures listed was the “water treatment,” which we nowadays call waterboarding…
ASHCROFT: (interrupting) This is a speech, not a question.  I don’t mind, but it’s not a question.
