Ashcroft has carved out a niche as a highly paid speaker and well-connected lobbyist for firms seeking contracts in the field of homeland security, an area he knows well. As the nation's top law enforcement official from 2001 to last year, Ashcroft helped develop anti-terrorist policies and practices at the top of the Justice Department.

Ashcroft's background, coupled with the $269,000 earned in three months by The Ashcroft Group from such lobbying, have raised some eyebrows in Washington and beyond.
