So Bush signs the bill into law that will allow terrorists to be interrogated harshly, as they should be, and allow many top Al Qaeda agents to be brought to justice through military tribunals. "It is a rare occasion when a president can sign a bill that he knows will save American lives," Bush said.
President Bush signed legislation Tuesday authorizing tough interrogation of terror suspects and smoothing the way for trials before military commissions, calling it a "vital tool" in the war against terrorism.Bush's plan for treatment of the terror suspects became law just six weeks after he acknowledged that the CIA had been secretly interrogating suspected terrorists overseas and pressed Congress to quickly give authority to try them in military commissions.
"With the bill I'm about to sign, the men our intelligence officials believe orchestrated the murder of nearly 3,000 innocent people will face justice," Bush said.
With this the ACLU are having a good old-fashioned moonbat hissy fit, calling it one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history.
To highlight concerns with the act, the ACLU took out a full page advertisement in today's Washington Post, calling itself "the most conservative organization in America." Since its founding, the ACLU has fought to conserve the system of checks and balances and defend the Bill of Rights.

lmao... thanks!
geesh. the ACLU is worse propaganda than Joseph Goebells
Thank you for the laugh.
I'm still not convinced this isn't a parody.
That's how it is with the left these days.
WOW.
Where's the MONDO MEGA-BARF alert note in the title?
See just about anybody can claim to be a "real Conservative".
I think we're living in Orwell's "1984". This kind of word game nonsense happens so often. The ACLU is now going to say that they are a conservative organization? Holy Toledo.
. . . As 'heads' is 'tails', just call me 'Lucifer' 'cause I'm in need of some restraint . . .

...the most conservative organization in America.

Conservative? Just what exactly does the ACLU mean by "conservative"? After they explain that word away, I suppose they could also help us understand the meaning of "sex" and "is" in their alternative reality.
I found this on the ACLU website...apparently, the "most conservative" comment is for real.

They also want to conserve the lie that the Constitution is a document that does not mean anything except whatever an amoral leftwing activist judge says it means.
So, the ACLU does in fact want to conserve, they want to conserve every lie they have been able to insert into the American culture as a means of destroying America.
More and more conservatives and libertarians are joining the ACLU. I have beef with the ACLU due to their promotion of affirmative action and their lack of defense for gun rights, but this is changing as more conservatives become members (or at least allies). I myself have not joined, but I'm supportive of them when they're right, and if they start taking 2nd Amendment cases I'll sign up.
If it were fake I would have tagged things as satire.
Thanks!
Yes and I'm the Easter Bunny.
How cute!
