Larry C. Johnson says:
"There is a growing network of support for whistleblowers. In particular, for anyone who wishes to know the legal implications of disclosures they may be contemplating, the ACLU stands ready to provide pro bono legal counsel, with lawyer-client privilege."
Thank God for the ACLU. Always ready to pitch in and help traitors, no matter the cost.
Say, did they offer to help Rove or Libby--even though we know now they leaked nothing. But does the ACLU know that?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON—At a press conference held by prominent government whistleblowers, the American Civil Liberties Union today announced that it will provide legal counsel to federal employees who may want to come forward to expose government wrongdoing or cover-ups.
“Government employees who risk their careers to expose deception and misconduct are true American patriots,” said Ann Beeson, ACLU Associate Legal Director. “The ACLU stands ready to provide legal support and advice to individuals who want to reveal evidence of wrongdoing by the government.”
The ACLU issued its announcement at a press conference sponsored by Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and his organization, the Truth-Telling Project. The press conference also featured comments from CIA whistleblower Ray McGovern and FBI whistleblowers Sibel Edmonds and Coleen Rowley.
According to the ACLU, whistleblowers need legal counsel because they may lose their jobs or even face criminal prosecution for exposing government wrongdoing. The ACLU has established a special e-mail address to respond to inquiries from potential whistleblowers, whistleblower@aclu.org, and will shortly launch a hotline as well.

ACLU stands for Anti Christian Litigation Union!!!
"the ACLU stands ready to provide pro bono legal counsel"
Yeah, the ACLU stands ready to help Gitmo inmates, too. I didn't know that breaking the law, as is advocated in this letter, was now a "civil liberty". The ACLU really is in the hands of left-wing nuts.
