On your permanent record

The Scientist :: Butler gets 2 years in prison.


Holder said afterward that the judge was “sticking his neck out” by dropping the sentence as much as seven years, because US Attorney General John Ashcroft “has pretty much laid down the law that any sentence below the sentencing guideline will be appealed.”

I wonder what John Ashcroft thinks now about medical research and the government's treatment of researchers, after enduring his own medical crisis.
