I can't find a link for it, but on tonight's "News Hour" Jim Lehrer quoted an Ashcroft spokesperson's official statement to the effect that: "those who criticize Mr. Ashcroft's statement as an attempt to silence discussion are precisely the kind of people he was talking about." (That's from memory, so it's not verbatim, but that was the gist.)
My, that's helpful.
