The ACLU lost it way several years ago and if idiots would stop supporting them we would all be better off. Like the AARP, the lid is off and the soup smells bad.

You know it's funny that when Bush & Cheney were gutting the constitution with the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation that they would be handing over the tools to illegally spy on Americans to a liberal congress and presidency.
If the ACLU wants to go after somebody they should go after Bush and Cheney instead of outing the low level CIA agents and their families. These tactics are no better than when the Bush & company outed Valerie Plame, whose name was leaked by Bush State Department official Richard Armitage to the late Robert Novak.
This whole mess stinks and anyone who leaks classified information and anyone exposes undercover intelligence agents should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Which ultimately brings up this point torture was and is illegal and if our government had not engaged in these activities to begin with we wouldn't have these problems.
This and future administrations need to protect the privacy and civil liberties of all persons under US jurisdiction. We must repeal or radically change the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation. We must reject the notion and practice of torture, eliminations of habeas corpus, secret tribunals, and secret prisons. We must deny immunity and prosecute to the full extent of the law corporations and organizations that spy on agents or ordinary people contrary to the law.

twit.

Obviously the ACLU, among other liberal leaning organizations, are just one more "tool" being used to destroy the America so many have come to reply upon for the butter they put on their bread. A hand once bitten will be twice shy about feeding and I would suspect the CIA operatives employed today will simply abandon ship. Perhaps the roles (jobs) in the CIA which will be lost will be re-filled by illegal aliens in exchange for USA citizenship? Then the "new CIA" can use established technology to covertly gain info on other US citizens! No doubt these new employees will have little problem doing the bidding of the US gov't regardless what the current tax-payers might feel or think. Ruby Ridge and Randy Weaver shall become a mere footnote in this shift. I've heard this precise thing might happen over the next 10 years, I believe, in fact, it may already be too late!

Good work, Michelle, keep it up, America truly needs you!

Of all the unAmeriacan organizations none is worse than the ACLU. Someone needs to come up with a way to put them out of business. It's no wonder the country is going to hell in a handbasket. There are a lot of reasons why this country will one day have a violent revolution (I believe it will come sooner than later)and the ACLU is right in the mix. I am old and wont be around to see it, thank goodness. But I have seen our finest hour. It is long past.
