Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, Government Accountability
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), currently chaired by David Medin, is highlighted as an independent agency within the executive branch tasked with balancing counter-terrorism efforts against privacy rights. Although recommended by the 9-11 Commission in 2004, the board's actual influence is questioned, with comparisons made to the lack of transparency surrounding the Benghazi investigation.
