What the hell does the Haditha case have to do with the civil liberties of Americans? Its obvious that the stinking ACLU didnt file this case in support of the soldiers...so why are they making demands?

These Bastards will do and say anything that will hurt and destroy the very Government and country that allows them to survive.

The ACLU is just as big an enemy to America as the Muslim Terrorists.

If America didn't have the freedom it does these scum could never exist, I'd like to see them go down to Cuba and rent an office then put a sign on the door saying "Cuban Civil Liberties Union" Castro himself would come down and shoot them, you'd never see the Pony Tailed a$s holes again, they'd feed them to their chickens.

I don't understand why anyone would be against a freedom of information request. It's merely a request allowed under the law.

What if an Insurance company..before decideing how much to charge you for insurance, they demanded to see your bank statements to see what kind of lifestyle you live. Would you be happy about that?

Huh?????????

Exactly what i said when i heard about this utterly ridiculous demand from the ACLU..What possible benefit to America could be derived from demanding to see the recods of Haditha?

I don't get your point, ELOrocks. First, insurance companies regularly ask for lots of information, about health, smoking, driving record, whatever. Second, the ACLU is interested in public disclosure, not making money. Third, the information could easily serve the Marines, especially if the higherups are attempting to cover their own a$$es and the expense of the underlings.

Surely, during the Clinton years you were all for the various FOIA requests filed by different media and political organizations. As a big government liberal, I oppose wherever possible government secrecy. I was all for Judicial Watch's efforts to force the Clinton's to release documents. Government is only safe if it is open. You're opposing openness. I think you're letting your kneejerk distrust of the ACLU get in the way of your reasoning. In my opinion this is not a good example of the ACLU being extreme.

Will you lighten up, Harry? What's with you lately? Have you lost your sense of humor? Are you aware that the same political battles we are having in this forum have been going on for over 200 years, and our country has survived. It's survived liberals, conservatives, incompetence, corruption, and mistakes. Lighten up. It's not as serious as you think.

I know, I HATE THE ACLU
