Also listed is contact information for attorneys who have indicated a willingness to advise or even accompany people during interrogations. Read the ACLU of Utah information >> This is part of a response from ACLU affiliates around the country to a recent announcement by Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller that the FBI would launch a new round of dragnet-like interviews in Arab and Muslim communities nationwide. This latest effort appears to be a resurrection of a similar program attempted in 2001 and 2002, in which the FBI questioned more than 8,000 Muslim and Arab men. The questioning did not yield a single arrest of a suspected terrorist. Updated 10/15/04: The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are increasing their attempts to question and monitor many people over the next few weeks and months.
