Bush Accused of Civil Rights Clampdown
A very unflattering portrayal of the Bush Administration appears in the Sunday London Observer. The article reports that both civil liberties groups and congresspersons accuse Bush and Cheney of a civil rights clampdown:
President George Bush is presiding over the most secretive administration in 'living memory', according to American civil rights groups and congressmen. Critics accuse him of orchestrating an unprecedented clampdown on freedom of information and the press.
