Defending Terrorists: The ACLU’s Greatest Hits
John Stephenson over at Pajamas Media wrote a good piece that looking at the most dangerous organization in America, better known as the ACLU.
A small sampling of the ACLU greatest hits:
Want to put New York City commuters and tourists at risk by suing to halt perfectly constitutional, common sense policies? The ACLU does.
Want to cripple America’s intelligence gathering capability? Want overseas terror suspects to be able to communicate freely with contacts in the United States? You’ve got a friend in the ACLU…even if you have never been subject to surveillance!
The ACLU has launched an initiative called the “John Adams Project.” The unmitigated gall in defaming one of history’s greatest Americans seems suspiciously flavored by the recent success of the HBO Adams miniseries. Yes, the PR machine hums along, no matter how laughable a stretch it is for the ACLU to link itself with great men. What is it? In a nutshell, the ACLU has assembled a “Dream Team” of attorneys with an $8.5 million budget to defend terrorists currently held at Guantanamo. Who’s the primary object of the ACLU’s affection? Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
The ACLU, true to form, impugns the professionalism and competence of men and women of infinitely more honor than their accusers by referring to tribunals as a “kangaroo courts.” But could the ACLU really be so scandalized that this mass murderer will stand before a military tribunal? Could the ACLU truly be standing up for his “fundamental rights?”
What is the true purpose of a multi-million-dollar campaign to get KSM off the hook?
The ACLU explains: “The ACLU chose to focus on Mohammed’s defense, Romero said, because he appears to be “the government’s top priority in the prosecution. And whether or not they are able to convict Khalid Sheik Mohammed under these rules may well determine the fate of the almost 300 other men who are detained at Guantanamo.”
So that’s it. The ACLU wants to set KSM and 300 other terrorists free or at least make it impossible for the tribunals to serve their function. Because KSM is the worst of the worst, because he is the terrorist in custody most responsible for 9/11, the ACLU is his champion.
This PR stunt can only serve to undermine American credibility by creating the illusion - sure to be propagated by the mass media - that mass killers are somehow being denied “justice.” Think our enemies don’t appreciate the ACLU’s efforts on their behalf - on both legal and the PR fronts? Clearly, this will leave America more vulnerable to attack.

Shock: The ACLU Says The Military Is Spying On Americans
From the AP:
The military is using the FBI to skirt legal restrictions on domestic surveillance to obtain private records of Americans’ Internet service providers, financial institutions and telephone companies, the ACLU said Tuesday.
The American Civil Liberties Union based its conclusion on a review of more than 1,000 documents turned over by the Defense Department after it sued the agency last year for documents related to national security letters, or NSLs, investigative tools used to compel businesses to turn over customer information without a judge’s order or grand jury subpoena.
“Newly unredacted documents released today reveal that the Department of Defense is using the FBI to circumvent legal limits on its own NSL power,” said the ACLU, whose lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court.
ACLU lawyer Melissa Goodman said the documents the civil rights group studied “make us incredibly concerned.” She said it would be understandable if the military relied on help from the FBI on joint investigations, but not when the FBI was not involved in a probe.
What a surprise, the ACLU thinks another tool in our fight against terrorism is unconstitutional. There has yet to be a single power granted to the government after 9/11 that the ACLU hasn’t deemed “unconstitutional”.
It’s a given that absolutely anything we do to make it harder for terrorists to attack us the ACLU is going to disagree with.
The ACLU is one of the most destructive and dangerous left-wing organizations on the planet. They use the courts to push an extremist agenda that undermines our national security and erodes the traditional fabric upon which this country was built.

ACLU Announces “Close Guantánamo” Campaign
The hideous organization known as the ACLU is launching its “Close Guantanamo” campaign on Jan. 11 to coincide with the six-year anniversary of the arrival of prisoners at the facility.
As with all left-wing campaigns, people are encouraged to wear something, in this case orange to symbolize solidarity with the terrorist killers.
The ACLU is hosting more than 20 events across the country this week from Washington, DC to Boise, Idaho.
“We believe people will turn out in force to express their opposition to the symbol and reality of Guantánamo,” said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU’s National Security Project.
“For six years, the Bush administration has flouted the Constitution and run roughshod over the international human rights system that the U.S. itself helped build. On January 11, we will send a clear message to the world that the administration must abandon its torture policies and shut down Guantánamo once and for all.”
Those who actually love their country and aren’t liberal weenies understand the need for Gitmo, and would like to see it remain open indefinitely.
One patriotic blogger has an answer to the ACLU thugs, and he’s encouraging people to wear green or camouflage as a counter protest.
