An internal report critical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) hiring and retention of minority lawyers was so heavily edited on the department’s Web site two weeks ago that half of its 186 pages, including the summary, were blacked out. The unedited report, completed in June 2002 by the consulting firm KPMG, found that minority employees at DOJ perceive their own workplace as biased and unfair.
“ The department does face significant diversity issues,” the report said. “Whites and minorities as well as men and women perceive differences in many aspects of the work climate. For example, minorities are significantly more likely than whites to cite stereotyping, harassment and racial tension as characteristics of the work climate. Many of these differences are also present between men and women, although to a lesser extent.” Another deleted portion of the document said efforts to promote diversity “will take extraordinarily strong leadership” from the attorney general’s office and other Justice Department offices.
...
At a Senate hearing this past week, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said the department’s handling of the report called into question its own commitment to diversity. He told James Comey, nominated by President Bush to succeed Larry Thompson as deputy attorney general, that the episode “gives the distinct impression that the department commissioned the report, then left it on the shelf, ignoring the recommendations.”

This administration takes secrecy to an absurd extreme. Whatever happened to open government?
