A.C.L.U.'s Search for Data on Donors Stirs Privacy Fears

Mr. Romero had advised the Ford Foundation, his former employer, to follow the nation's main antiterrorism law, known as the Patriot Act, in composing language for its grant agreements, helping to ensure that none of its money inadvertently underwrites terrorism or other unacceptable activities. The A.C.L.U., which has vigorously contended that the act threatens civil liberties, had accepted $68,000 from Ford under the new terms by then.

The board voted in October to return the money and reject further grants from Ford and the Rockefeller Foundation, which uses similar language in its grant agreements...."

Sounds like the ACLU would rather not have money--than be prohibited from using it to support terrorism. Whose side are they on and what are we making our Congress do about it?
