And I had been told unambiguously that Lindh’s parents had retained counsel for him. I gave that advice on a Friday, and the same attorney at Justice who inquired called back on Monday and said essentially, Oops, they did it anyway. They interrogated him anyway. What should we do now? My office was there to help correct mistakes. And I said, Well, this is an unethical interrogation, so you should seal it off and use it only for intelligence-gathering purposes or national security, but not for criminal prosecution. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few weeks later, Attorney General Ashcroft held one of his dramatic press conferences, in which he announced a complaint being filed against Lindh. He was asked if Lindh had been permitted counsel. And he said, in effect, To our knowledge, the subject has not requested counsel. That was just completely false. About two weeks after that he held another press conference, because this was the first high-profile terrorism prosecution after 9/11. And in that press conference he was asked again about Lindh’s rights, and he said that Lindh’s rights had been carefully, scrupulously guarded, which, again, was contrary to the facts, and contrary to the picture that was circulating around the world of Lindh blindfolded, gagged, naked, bound to a board&quot;&lt;br&gt;Above courtesy of Vanity Fair:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/02/bush-oral-history200902?currentPage=1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/200...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please remember that Albert Gonzales was not AG at the time and many things were done on an end around  Ashcroft whom was AG.
