Attorney General John Ashcroft was hospitalized in intensive care for acute pancreatitis. Is this life threatening? I would say not. However, when many off-shore operators heard that he was intensive care, they probably collectively were a little excited. Don't worry off-shore books, he will get healed, be with Bush when he gets re-elected, and the two will go on their Nazi march against civil liberties and our right to wager on sports on the internet.
