Hopefully, this is a sign that the ACLU is actually awakening to the real threats to civil liberties posed currently instead of playing the role of handmaiden of the hard Left.

It's about time they start doing some real civil liberties work, support gun rights, get out of the abortion and sodomy rights battles which have become their trademark. And they need to forget about hounding religion out of the schools and 10 Commandments plaques out of the courthouses.

There is a serious and credible threat to the American constitution due to the modern information age. The threat is the use of information collection systems to completely eliminate privacy and anonymity, both of which are substantial components of meaningful civil liberties.

I certainly don't trust Ridge or Poindexter's TIA. It's overdue for the ACLU to return to broad and practical civil rights agenda.
