At least 21 detainees who died while being held in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan were killed, many during or after interrogations, according to an analysis of Defense Department data by the American Civil Liberties Union (search). The analysis, released Monday, looked at 44 deaths described in records obtained by the ACLU. Of those, the group characterized 21 as homicides, and said at least eight resulted from abusive techniques by military or intelligence officers, such as strangulation or "blunt force injuries," as noted in the autopsy reports. The 44 deaths represent a partial group of the total number of prisoners who have died in U.S. custody overseas; more than 100 have died of natural and violent causes.

Should change name to JCLU. (Jihadist Civil Liberties Union)
"We would think that the Islamofascists were cutting off heads. Oh wait, they already are. "
That was kind of my point... other people probably think the same thing about us. Are we getting enough intelligence info to justify making the world think we are the same?
bttt - ACLU, go "help" somebody else
Let's use Danny Pearl instead.

I'd like to give the ACLU a blunt force injury. Taking away the law that allows them to collect fees from my tax money would do it.

A good, but slow, start.
Only 21? Uh, that puts us about 119,999,979 behind their heroes Stalin and Mao! No wonder they're upset.
Note:I did not make up the 119,999,979.
I guess the ACLU forgot to count the dead from Saddam's prisons. Geez.
The tiny cross haters are at it again.
wait til the ACLU finds out that we've been burying these POS in pig fat! LMAO
We would think that IslamoFascists terrorists beheaded them! And they did. Try counting how many Zakawi has beheaded and then get back to me.
Or, better yet, think about our Air Force pilots during the First Gult War. They were beaten by Saddam's two brutal sons on a regular basis. The woman pilot was raped and probably so were the men pilots. Did you have sympathy for our guys back then? Did you speak up back then?
I am surprised there isn't a movement to do that already.
I think that is being worked on:
FBI says it has files on ACLU, Greenpeace, other rights groups

I'm not sure I knew about those specific cases but I have far more sympathy for Americans, particularly Americans risking their lives to defend the American way.
My point was strategic. The world most likely thinks the same things about us when prisoners are killed in U.S. custody that we think about others who kill captured Americans. We would tremendous tactical advantage from intelligence obtained this way to compensate us for the world equating us with the other side.
Like it or not, we don't have the troops to accomplish all we want to get done in this world. 90% of situations are resolved by American influence and threat not directly by troops.
There is also the issue that as a Christian, I know that torture is wrong. Jesus was alive in barbaric times where other people used torture and never endorsed this sort of behavior.
