Can anyone be surprised with these revelations. It's clear that this Administration cares very little about American's civil liberties. If the Bushies were around the time the Constution was written they would have opposed the Bill of Rights, other than the Second Amendment. Remember Papa Bush talk about "card caring members of the ACLU"?

"Privacy" and "Civil Rights"? What "quaint" words. What do they mean anyway?

Actually, I am surprised that the "White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" hasn't met. The part I'm surprised about is the part designated as "White House Privacy". For not meeting, they're doing a great job in keeping everything that goes on in that place "private".

I am also surprised that "Dick Cheney's Terrorism Task Force" hasn't met. After all, he does such a great job of scaring the country about terrorism that one would think there was an army of speech- writers and other such minions working on it 24/7.

Well, I guess that just goes to show how talented he is.

My real opinion is [redacted, redacted, arrested, rendered, tortured, denied due process, covered with dirt at an undisclosed location].

I would think that they would be meeting on regular basis to discuss how to further erode our privacy and civil liberties. The name in no way implies that it is an oversight board to ensure that Americans retain their privacy and civil liberties. It would be par for the course for the administration. As far only one person being on the board that has any civil liberties experience, what do you expect from an administration that gave us "Brownie" and vet to head up the post dealing with women's health.

This is only one of many frightening things that are eroding our civil loiberties.
