Court hears argument over post-9/11 arrest (AP)

FILE - In this March 11, 2008, file photo, former Attorney General John Ashcroft testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Supreme Court is taking up the post-Sept. 11 arrest of an American Muslim under a law intended to make sure witnesses testify in criminal proceedings. The Obama administration is defending Ashcroft for actions he took as attorney general. A lawsuit seeks to hold Ashcroft financially responsible for creating a policy to use the material witness law to round up people suspected of ties to terrorism, without evidence to charge them with a crime. Argument at the high court is set for Wednesday, March 2, 2011. (AP Photo/Dennis Cook, File)AP - The Supreme Court on Wednesday considered whether to allow former Attorney General John Ashcroft to be sued for an American Muslim's post-Sept. 11 arrest and detention using a law intended to make sure witnesses testify in criminal proceedings, a move a couple of justices worried could have a profound effect in how federal prosecutors fight crime.
