Associated Press:
The lone Democrat on a White House privacy board has abruptly resigned, citing disagreements with the Bush administration over the board's role in protecting civil liberties.
Lanny Davis, a Washington lawyer and former Clinton White House counsel, said this week he no longer believed the five-member board was sufficiently independent to provide robust oversight of controversial government surveillance programs.
Leaders of the Sept. 11 commission pointedly criticized the board last week for not doing its job and questioned many of the findings in the board's 49-page annual report to Congress.
It turns out that Bushco has been editing the panel's report. 'Substantial' edits, according to reports.
When the truth is your enemy, you're not fighting with the good guys anymore.
