Appeals court says Ashcroft liable in 9/11 detainee case
A 9th U.S. Circuit panel ruled former Attorney General John Ashcroft can be sued for constitutional rights violations by a man detained as a material witness after 9/11. Abdullah al Kidd, a former University of Idaho student, alleges two weeks of detention cost him a Saudi scholarship, jobs, and his marriage, arguing the policy targeted Muslims and Arabs. The decision questions the Bush administration's post 9/11 detention practices and could require Ashcroft to testify in a deposition if upheld.
