SAVOR the silence of America's self-serving champions of privacy. For once, the American Civil Liberties Union has nothing bad to say about the latest case of secret domestic surveillance -- because it is the ACLU that committed the spying.
Last week, The Washington Post reported on a Justice Department inquiry into photographs of undercover CIA officials and other intelligence personnel taken by ACLU-sponsored researchers assisting the defense team of Guantanamo detainees. According to the report, the pictures of covert CIA officers -- "in some cases surreptitiously taken outside their homes" -- were shown to jihadi suspects tied to the 9/11 attacks in order to identify the interrogators.
The ACLU undertook the so-called "John Adams Project" with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers -- last seen crusading for convicted jihadi assistant Lynne Stewart. (She's the far-left lawyer who helped sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind, smuggle coded messages of violence to outside followers.)
Working from a witch-hunt list of 45 CIA employees, the ACLU team tailed and photographed agency employees or obtained other photos from public records. Then they showed the images to suspected al Qaeda operatives implicated in murdering 3,000 innocent men, women and children on American soil.
Where is the concern for the safety of these American officers and their families? Where's the outrage from all the indignant supporters of former CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose name was leaked by Bush State Department official Richard Armitage to the late Robert Novak?

This is simply treason.
How much longer will this go on? Who is permitting, aiding and abetting our own destruction?
When will the populace rise up and say enough?
When will there be consequences for traitors? When will there be payback? When will the words cease?
The ACLU believes that the US is the Great Satan, and so anything to cripple this country is good. They’re so focused on their ultra Liberal agenda that the ends justify the means. Smacks of communism? Well, that’s just fine. That’s what they want. Everyone ground down to the lowest common denominator except the elite Liberals who’ll give us all our marching orders.
Yes Wee Wee Can
It has been clear for many years that the ACLU is a group who will do anything to destroy America and use the constitution to do it. Nothing but a group of sleezey bast**ds.
Any chance of some covert CIA action against these degenerates at the ACLU? I know where there’s a pulp mill to recycle them. They could be converted into paper for Michelle Malkin’s next book.
Congress pays the ACLU to do this to America.
Better they should hire Russia.
Eric Holder is AWOL on the subject of a special prosecutor for these violations of the 1982 Agent Identification Act.
I watched a documentary not too long ago on tv about the ACLU. And, it was founded by known communists. Need we say more?
The ACLU should be shut down immediately. Civil liberties my butt! They are doing nothing but endangering us & endangering those agents by exposing them.
These power hungry a$$holes are getting under my skin. I have never seen this vermin coming out of the woodwork like they are today - all of these power grabbers starting from the potus.
Everyone is disregarding the rights & laws in this country, as well as the protection of this country. Its like a damn free for all!
It is “political imperialism”...probably at the behest of the UN...
