U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on the Administration

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights voted Friday to wait until after next month's election to discuss a report critical of the Bush administration's civil rights record. Republican members had objected to the report's timing. The report remains posted on the commission's Web site, however, despite objections from GOP commissioners who sought to get it removed.

``I think it's an unfair report, and I think it's a politically biased report, and I think its release at this time is politically motivated,'' Commissioner Jennifer C. Braceras said after the commission voted to postpone discussion of the report until Nov. 12."

The 180-page report written by commission staff says Bush ``has neither exhibited leadership on pressing civil rights issues, nor taken actions that matched his words'' on the subject. Among other criticisms, it finds fault with Bush's funding requests for civil rights enforcement agencies; his positions on voting rights, educational opportunity and affirmative action; and his actions against hate crimes.

I'm guessing from the comments it's not too favorable, but I can't read it on this computer. I'm thinking it needs to be downloaded to a few computers in case they buckle to pressure to remove it.
