Here's a good article about Attorney General Ashcroft's flagrant violations of ABA Model Rule of Professional Conduct 3.6, which prohibits a lawyer from public statements having to do with "the character, credibility, reputation or criminal record of a ...witness" in a criminal proceeding where the defendant faces incarceration.

It sounds like Ashcroft has a case of "Rummy envy," that is, envy of the Defense Secretary's ability to make, without consequence, outrageous and assinine statements which are transcribed unquestioningly by a servile and cowardly press corps.
