"Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, the man most responsible for waging America�s war on terrorism, complains to staff that he gets very little time with the President and gets most of his marching orders lately from Ashcroft. Some on Ridge�s staff gripe privately that Ashcroft is 'Bush�s Himmler,' a reference to Heinrich Himmler, Chief of the SS (the German Police) under Adolph Hitler."--capitolhillblue.com.
