| TRAC Seeks Retraction From DOJ |
| (19 Oct 2009)
In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, TRAC today asked the Justice Department to retract a department statement about our recent report on the government's troubled terrorism enforcement activities.
TRAC also requested a meeting with the Attorney General or responsible officials to discuss ending the department's unfortunate tactic of substituting name calling for a forthright public examination of problems highlighted by the government's own data.
The report -- posted on September 27 -- was based on data obtained from numerous agencies and the courts. It concluded that the long failure of the government to decide who will be prosecuted as a terrorist and who will not has reduced the effectiveness of law enforcement and at the same time undermined civil liberties.
