ACLU Applauds Rumsfeld?s Resignation, Calls for Immediate Investigation Into Dereliction of Duty
Stop The ACLU ^ | 10-Nov-06 | John Stephenson

Posted on 11/09/2006 6:31:26 AM PST by Jay777

Off we go into a new direction for America. You know we are off on the wrong foot towards the wrong direction when the changes taking place are cheered by the ACLU! If President Bush thinks nixing Rumsfeld is a way to finding common ground with the newly empowered Democrats will be enough to satisfy the hunger of the left, he should think again. The ACLU, no doubt speaking the mind of the new majority, want to see his head on a fancier platter.

The American Civil Liberties Union today applauded Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation from his post as Defense Secretary, and called on Congress to investigate the gross abuse of power committed under his watch.

"Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation is a step in the right direction," said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU Executive Director. "Rumsfeld is responsible for the torture and abuse of detainees in U. S. military custody and must be held accountable for the failures that occurred on his watch. He has placed the blame on junior military members and has been nothing but derelict in his duty. Congress must initiate an immediate and exhaustive investigation into his six-year-long record of unlawful activity, violations of the rule of law and complicity in the executive branch abuse of power."

The (Couldn't Buy) ACLUe is so anti-American. They know just enough of our rights to use them to their end, in the effort to destroy our nation. Folks that support them are either too stupid to realize what the ACLU is doing, or they are some of the most anti-American people on the face of planet earth.

And what business does the ACLU have with regard to national defense?

Oh...right...about as much room as Dhimmicrats have in screeching about ethics.

Never gonna happen. Even the RINOs subsidize the Dhimmicrat All-Criminal Liberal Union.

And the drums of defeat beat louder and louder.

Hey, the Dhimmicrats know that Bush will capitulate to their every whim, so what have they got to lose?

Yep- they're calling for investigations at the expense of taxpayers- the only maggots that should be investigated are the ACLU- For their abuse of power, heir blackmailing, their ties to terrorist supporting groups like CAIR-
