ACLU Slams DOJ Investigation of NSA Whistleblower

ACLU ^ | 12/30/2005

[Jay777]

NEW YORK - The American Civil Liberties Union today sharply criticized a Justice Department investigation into the disclosure of an illegal National Security Agency domestic eavesdropping operation approved by President George W. Bush.

In a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as well as two full-page advertisements in the New York Times, the ACLU has called for the appointment of a special counsel to determine whether President Bush violated federal wiretapping laws by authorizing illegal surveillance of domestic targets.

The following statement can be attributed to ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero:

"President Bush broke the law and lied to the American people when he unilaterally authorized secret wiretaps of U.S. citizens. But rather than focus on this constitutional crisis, Attorney General Gonzales is cracking down on critics of his friend and boss. Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistleblowers who are courageous enough to speak out on violations of the law."

ACLU Slams DOJ Investigation of NSA Whistleblower

Snapshot of DIMS talking points this Sunday morning on all of the talk shows...The word "whistleblower" will be repeated again and again...I predict it will be mentioned by the left at least 100 times before the weekend is through...

[King Moonracer]

Commie F'tards.

[Dustbunny]

Will someone please come up with a way to make these jerks go away. They are destroying this country.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes, the hypocrisy is so diaparaging. Whats even worse of is the same reaction from the MSM.

[Just A Nobody]

Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistleblowers

There is the word everyone was predicting would be used to describe the leakers.

[NY Attitude]

There are ways but unfortunately they are illegal.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If the ACLU is against it, it must be the right thing to do.

[BelegStrongbow]

You can go to the website and make a statement. They will ask for your name and email. I do not know what they will do with the information.

[Arm_Bears]

This is getting good. The Washington ComPost has its knickers in a twist, and now the ACLU is riding to the rescue. Start the popcorn.

[DogBarkTree]

Id like to see the DOJ slam the ACLU with a Daisy Cutter.

[frankjr]

The ACLU figure Gonzales would immediately file their letter in the circular file, so they put an ad in the NYT as well. The ACLU is fighting hard for terrorist rights.

[finallyatexan]

They will go away as soon as our tax dollars stop funding them - same with npr.

[johnny7]

You know you've done good... when you see these commies squeal!
