Where is the Federal Privacy Oversight Protection Board?
There are long standing privacy and civil liberties worries regarding the federal governments efforts to fight terrorism. Nagging problems first noted by DOJ Inspector General Reports in 2007 outlined the FBI's failure to follow the law. The White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Protection Board also investigated the matter and found serious lapses with FBI use of National Security Letters. Later Congress moved the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Protection Board from the White House. No new members of the board have been appointed.
