Here’s a riddle: How do you get the American Civil Liberties Union to stop defending terrorists? Tell the ACLU that the detainees are really Boy Scouts. Sadly, I am only half joking. This is the same group, after all, that defends pedophiles in the North American Man Boy Love Association, yet sues U.S. servicemembers engaged in a war. The latest outrage from the “America-does-nothing-right” crowd is a series of lawsuits against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski and Col. Thomas Pappas. The March 1 news release, in which the ACLU announced the lawsuits, would be laughable if not for the serious impact it is already having on military operations. Among the alleged abuses committed by our troops against the peace-loving detainees is “degrading treatment” and “restraint in contorted and excruciating positions.” It would be easy to make a comparison to Western hostages who have been beheaded by Islamic terrorists, but we are, and should be, held to a higher standard. In fact, most military servicemembers and veterans were horrified by the photographs taken at Abu Ghraib prison. The military, however, is investigating these abuses and has court-martialed or nonjudicially punished those already determined to be responsible.
These lawsuits represent the latest salvo in a pattern of “lawfare” engaged by the ACLU and fellow litigant Human Rights First. These groups, along with the Center for Constitutional Rights and Veterans for Peace, have exploited the Freedom of Information Act by requiring the Pentagon to release documents to the tune of 15,000 pages per month.

I really don't understand who would give to the ACLU.
Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org
Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org
American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org
The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/
Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org
Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:
ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas
ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits
ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd
Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit

Well of course major liberal communist groups. Why do you think the ACLU defends the lucrative business of killing babies so much. Special interest groups.
LOL! They hate the Boy Scouts more than they hate the terrorists. What a mixed up world.
The Scouts need your help.

I'm so sick and tired of the far left terrorist sympathizers. What we are fighting is nothing more than EVIL. It is just as much a spiritual battle as it is a physical one. Pray! Prayer is THE most powerful weapon we have against evil. It is too often underestimated.

Best to send money directly to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Go here to help: http://www.bsalegal.org
Thanks...I found some contact phone numbers there. I will be calling tomorrow. I don't know how I can help, but I will do what I can. Do me a favor and send me these links to my freepmail.
Thank you.
Anna, That is absolutely awesome! Is there anyway that we could team up in this fight? It would be really cool if I could show this video on my site, but not only do I not really know how to do that, but I know it would drain your bandwidth. I will probably link to it sometime tomorrow. Spledid job!
later pingout.
