Posturing and going through the motions, nothing more. GWB would never declassify it.

The terrorists ARE the ACLU.

The American Civil Liberties Union - the legal arm of al Qaeda.

Not to worry, they can black out anything that is deemed classified. All the ACLU would get is 10,000 pages of solid black with an occasional "the" and "a" not clacked out. Sent across an old fax machine page by page too, probably take 10 weeks to fax them all.

Who at the ACLU actually thinks Freedom-Of-Information-Act is applicable to NSA info (esp procedures and practices)

Hell... next thing you know some 'chinese american' groups will be submitting FIOA requests for naval deployment schedules.

Hey! The ACLU is/are the terrorists. This demand should wind up on the campuses of the FBI and the CIA - the ACLU has NO RIGHT to jeopardize the country. The Department of Justice should step in at this point.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that intelligence gathering must consist of at least 1 party outside the US without a warrant which is what happened in this case.

I'm one of the people that listens to ErrAmerika to 'know the enemy." These moon bats actually have said that national security matters should not be secret in a democracy like the U.S. In order to demonstrate AMerica values freedom, the government cannot have any secrets. America must stand taller than other countries by opening up its classified information so the whole population can judge it's merits, and not a select few back-room boys that may not have the best interests of the country in mind. These liberals are nuts and you can't make this stuff up! They fully support the ACLU to get NSA info into the public realm.

No they aren't. The ACLU is the front group for the Marxist World Order run from the United Nations.

The ACLU is a threat to the USA and more importantly our lives.

As such I think it's time we have a "McCarthyism redux", only this time going after the ACLU. With full blown Senate hearings like the Army hearings Tail-gunner Joe held. The lead question should be:

"Are you now, or where you ever a member of the ACLU"
Anyone who answers yes if found guilty of treason and gets the Death Penalty. Those who take the 5th get immediate immunity and if they still refuse to answer get Life in an Alaskan Gulag.

Naturally the House steps to the plate too by re-instituting HUAC and the defendants (ACLU Lawyers) could be dragged back and forth between both chambers of Congress while trussed in shackles like Hannibal Lechter.

And any demoncRAT pol who opens his-her pie hole about the 'rights' of the ACLU gets charged with aiding and abetting Treason and Sedition and are summarily executed on the spot - after a short trail (gotta keep it legal).
