우리는 테러와의 전쟁, 이렇게, 뿐만 아니라시민의 자유 무엇이든 더 긴 관련되다 싸우고 있다 그러나 어느 쪽도 아니는 위반한 관련된시민의 자유에 어떤 보고든지 아니다. 당신은 아무 권리도 다는 것을 어쨌든 당신이 모르는 경우에, 당신은 다량이, 본ㄴ다는 것을 전부 넋두리하지 않을 것인가? 에서 ACLU:
"워싱턴 D.C., - 미국 시민의 자유 조합은 오늘 이전에 발표한 정보를 제하기 위하여 기밀 및 시민의 자유 감독 위원회가 복종된 보고의 백악관 검열을 비웃었다. The White House made more than 200 redactions to the public report, sometimes deleting entire sections. These edits resulted in former White House Counsel Lanny J. Davis’s resignation.
The following can be attributed to Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office:
“This administration has taken a see-no-evil, speak-no-evil posture. Attempting to keep well-known civil liberties violations secret is nothing short of childish. We clearly see what the administration is trying to hide when White House staff made 200 redactions and edits to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board’s report. The board is a toothless entity that blindly and obediently advances the Bush agenda by endorsing its most egregious civil liberties violations. For the administration to take it one step further by censoring the PCLOB’s report is shameless.
“Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Christopher Shays (R-CT) and Tom Udall (D-NM), have introduced legislation which would take the civil liberties board out from under the president’s control and would give it subpoena powers. We strongly support that necessary move to ensure that the board has true oversight powers - and can be a watch dog, not a lap dog.”
Make no mistake, this is a direct assault on freedom of the press, on freedom of expression, on the Bill of Rights in general. Maybe Congress should meet with Lanny J. Davis and ask about those 200 redactions?
