Update on Racial Profiling

Recent Coverage of DoJ Suppression of Racial Profiling Report

Last Thursday, I appeared on Mitch Jeserich's news broadcast on Free Speech Radio News to discuss the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics racial profiling report. As I posted last week, the Bureau Director sought to publicize this report, but was blocked and then demoted by his superiors in the Bush Administration Department of Justice. These actions by the Department of Justice are outrageous and I will be calling on my Republican counterpart on the Judiciary Committee, Chairman James Sensenbrenner, to conduct an investigation into this.

Here is the audio from the radio news story - http://johnconyers.com/vertical/Sites/{EF00C507-612C-4BA3-84C0-446C97F7E413}/uploads/{A64C82C0-FB7B-413A-A125-61ADF7CD3270}.MP3

There were also good editorial pieces on this in the Washington Post - http://www.conyersblog.us/archives/00000221.htm and the New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/25/opinion/25herbert.html?pagewanted=print
