Quick- answer this question-
What does the ACLU stand for?
Most of us are lead to believe that the acronym ACLU actually means for the American Civil Liberties Union.
Well, not any more.
The ACLU is suing an American company on behalf of three terror suspects-
A Boeing Co. subsidiary that may have provided secret CIA flight services was sued Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of three terrorism suspects who claim they were tortured by the U.S. government.
None of the three terrorism suspects are Americans-
The cases involve the alleged mistreatment of Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian citizen, in July 2002 and January 2004; Elkassim Britel, an Italian citizen, in May 2002; and Ahmed Agiza, an Egyptian citizen, in December 2001, ACLU officials said at a Manhattan news conference.
Now that the ACLU has stopped defending American's civil liberty rights, perhaps it is time to disband them. At the very least- it is time to remove the word "american" from it's title.

What is more 'American' than representing someone, whether citizen or not, who feels that they were injured by a company or a government or an individual? Even if you feel the case lacks merit, which I do, it is still a bedrock principle that American companies who are accused of causing injury to people should have to answer in court for their actions. I certainly dont agree with most positions taken by the ACLU but I do agree with the principles of law they are trying to defend.
The aclu was founded my marxist/ communists and stay true to that idiology.America is being stolen by this demonic jewish cabal.
First consider that there is a world of difference between a convicted terrorist and a terrorist suspect. The right to be presumed innocent has already gone out of the window for these men.
America being stolen by a Jewish cabal? Really?
I seriously hope that Eddie is not really the kind of Nazi he sounds like.
The issue is whether the ACLU is fulfilling its mission. Despite my disagreement with most of their non-legal positions, I think they are serving the purpose they were founded to serve. Defense of everyone's rights.
