Ex-Sept. 11 Panel Chiefs Eye Privacy Board

Via UPI.

The former leaders of the U.S. Sept. 11 Commission have questioned the record of the first year of the White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.

"What civil liberties have been specifically protected or enhanced by your actions? What corrections in policies, procedures or regulations have you achieved?" the commission chairman, former New Jersey Republican Gov. Tom Kean, and his deputy, former Rep. Lee Hamilton, wrote in a politely worded but skeptical letter to the board.

Kean and Hamilton wrote that their letter was a response to the board's 49-page report to Congress last month detailing its activities since the administration established it in March 2006.
