Protestor subpoenas Ashcroft, Bush adviser
A man charged with entering a "restricted area" during an October 2002 "presidential" visit has subpoenaed U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and Bush political adviser Karl Rove to testify at his trial next week.
Activist Brett Bursey, 55, said Thursday the men's testimony would show that the Bush administration tries to "sanitize" areas of dissent around the president during visits across the country.
Bursey originally was charged by local authorities with trespassing when he refused to move to a "free-speech zone" at the Columbia airport.
"We intend to find out from Mr. Ashcroft why and how the decision to prosecute Mr. Bursey was reached," said Lewis Pitts, Bursey's lawyer.
