Ashcroft presses broader terror laws in Congress
Attorney General Ashcroft argues for tougher anti-terrorism provisions amid criticism of current powers. He cites terrorist declarations of war, names victims of September 11, and a claim that the Patriot Act has halted over 3,000 terror suspects. He urges harsher penalties, expanded material support prosecutions, and indefinite detention for public safety cases, while acknowledging some legal weaknesses and complaints from Democrats about abuses and immigrant detentions.
