Conservative groups, meanwhile, have mounted an equally aggressive ad campaign on Ashcroft's behalf. His answers during two days of testimony and to more than 360 written questions the committee's Democrats threw at him "are thorough and forthright," insists Jeanne Lopatto, an aide to the panel's GOP chairman, Orrin Hatch...
