To the Editor:
   Looking back on eight dark years, Attorney General Ashcroft observes that "Every day seemed to bring news of another betrayal of trust". Some of us remember that the phone companies on whom we rely for daily communication began spying on citizens in violation of both our statutes and of our constitution almost eight years ago. Mr. Ashcroft's department of justice never prosecuted those crimes. To the best of my knowledge, they are ongoing to this day. If Mr. Ashcroft has evidence that this non--prosecution has led us towards a more prosperous and just society, it is too subtle for this reader.
