Leaders of Civil-Rights Watchdog Blast Bush

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Leaders of a divided federal civil-rights watchdog agency accused President Bush of deepening racial divisions, in a parting shot after years of sparring with his administration.

Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and Vice Chairperson Cruz Reynoso delivered a 166-page report to the White House harshly criticizing the administration for setting back race relations and failing to promote civil rights in any meaningful way.

But the report is not an official document, because four of the eight commissioners, all of them Republican appointees, voted against adopting it and rejected the charges as politically biased.

Both Berry and Reynoso are due to retire from the commission next month at the end of their six-year terms, giving Bush the chance to appoint their successors and shape a body more supportive of his policies.

1. If they think this last four years were bad...

they had better get ready for worse. * does nothing that doesn't further his agenda of creating a repressive state religion, or piling more loot onto his friends.

He is a sociopath, and completely incapable of caring about anyone but himself. His policies prove this. I'm still deeply depressed to think that enough people really voted for him, to make this last theft even half-way plausible.
