Where's the intelligence watchdog in the White House?
When a privacy rights group requested records on how many times a secretive presidential oversight board had requested the Justice Department to investigate possible violations of intelligence-gathering laws since 2001, the answer was zero, according to a April 3 Chicago Tribune article. The article says part of the problem was that no one was even appointed to the Intelligence Oversight Board until more than half way through President Bush's first term.
