‘Someday, it might actually meet.’

‘Someday, it might actually meet.’
LA Times: “Initially proposed by the bipartisan commission that investigated the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board was created by the intelligence overhaul that President Bush signed into law in December 2004…More than a year later, it exists only on paper.”

What use would the Bush administration have for a board like that? “Oversight” isn’t in their vocabulary.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:08 amThis is typical of the Bushies. Say anything, promise everything and do nothing.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:08 amLook me up on the web sometime.
P.S. I have a new hit circulating via a tape that my buddy George Bush has just released.

February 20th, 2006 at 9:09 amLet’s be honest, they’ll only actually address sitiuations like this until they are forced to do so.
Civil liberties are not high on their list of things to do.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:19 amif its got to do with Civil Liberties you dont want Bush near it anyway.
His unwarranted spying clearly shows a tendency to ignore civil rights.
The idea was to have professionals ask hard questions about whether the government was going too far in collecting and disseminating information about suspected terrorists,
Gonzales Oil Gas Bush lawyers and Cronies?
February 20th, 2006 at 9:24 amlooks like another means to cover and cloak.
In Bush world everyone is suspect.

Democrats are fully complicit in the Civil Liberties demise in America… only 3 Senators stood up to the White House over the Patriot Act: Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, and Jim Jeffords of Vermont.
All the others, after blocking passage in December are now rolling over with pretty much no change in the bill. What changed? Pretty much nothing.
All the controversial parts – libraries, section 215 (lifetime gag on businesses), sneak and peek etc are still there…
No wonder Democrats are perennial losers.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:26 amSEC. 211. PRIVACY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OVERSIGHT BOARD.
I think that’s the section of the act that the article is talking about.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:30 amWell, the link I gave expired. I don’t know why it does that but it’s very unhelpful.
February 20th, 2006 at 9:46 amIf you look at who is on the board, you will be glad it is NOT up and running.
If the powers that be were interested in protecting civil liberties, one might think that an experienced lawyer from the ACLU might chair such a board. The Board, when it is up and running, will serve to rubber-stamp the government’s intrusions into privacy and elimination of civil liberties, all in the name of national security.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Or, in the words of another, posted elsewhere in TP:
I could not have said it better.

Good posts all…….Blessings
February 20th, 2006 at 1:29 pmI wonder if the Board members are pulling a salary for their “work”?
February 20th, 2006 at 6:16 pmThe last thing the Bushies want is to have anyone find anything even close to the truth of 911!
