The subjects of their investigations and the resulting reports are nearly all classified. The Bush administration first appointed board members in 2003. Since then, the CIA and the National Security Agency have been caught up in controversy over interrogation tactics at secret prisons, the transfer of prisoners to countries that use torture, and domestic wiretapping not reviewed by federal courts. Until recently, the board had not told the attorney general about any wrongdoing. “The attorney general has no record of receiving reports from the IOB regarding intelligence activities alleged to be potentially unlawful or contrary to executive order or presidential directive,” the Justice Department told the House Judiciary Committee in a May 9 letter. White House officials said the board began forwarding reports of problems shortly thereafter. White House officials declined to discuss the board’s interactions with President Bush, and said its members could not be interviewed for this report. President Gerald Ford created the board in the mid-1970s after the Church Committee identified numerous abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies. President Ronald Reagan made the board permanent with an executive order in 1981 and gave it the mission to identify legal violations. Harrington said that under President Bill Clinton, the board sent reports of legal violations by intelligence agencies promptly to the attorney general. Officials said it concluded that the administration showed poor judgment in supporting Iranian arms shipments to Bosnia, and it complained about the CIA’s policy of employing known torturers or killers as informants in Latin America. Perino said that during the first two years of the Bush administration, a career intelligence officer at the White House collected and reviewed reports in which the FBI and other intelligence agencies self-disclosed violations of civil liberties and privacy safeguards. The board’s three or four members ― it has alternated over the years ― are usually drawn from the larger President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, which advises the commander in chief on U.S. intelligence policy and performance. The board now in place is led by former Bush economic adviser Stephen Friedman. It includes Don Evans, friend of the president and a former Commerce secretary, former Adm. David Jeremiah and lawyer Arthur Culvahouse. Perino said the board’s “original unique mission and primary oversight role has been supplemented” in recent years by new layers of government. The administration now relies on the director of national intelligence ― a job created in 2005 ― to watch for abuses, along with presidentially appointed inspector generals. As a result, Bush is considering changes to Reagan’s executive order, she said. On Friday, the FBI and the Justice Department announced several reforms meant to strengthen internal oversight, including the creation of a legal “compliance office” inside the bureau and a review office inside the department that will regularly examine all violations. Separately, Gonzales wrote the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, to defend his 2005 testimony that there had been no verified civil liberties abuses during the first three years of the efforts against terrorism. The Washington Post reported last week that the FBI had sent Gonzales a half-dozen reports of violations of civil liberties and privacy safeguards before his testimony. Gonzales wrote Friday that he did not consider the conduct in those reports to be abuses because the violations involved mistakes, not deliberate misconduct. “My testimony was completely truthful, and I stand by that testimony,” he wrote.
