Bush's fault...........
To: Sub-Driver
In particular, the lawsuit asks for information on when, where and against whom drone strikes can be authorized, the number and rate of civilian casualties and other basic information essential for assessing the wisdom and legality of using armed drones to conduct targeted killings, the ACLU said in a statement, announcing its action. In particular, the lawsuit asks for information that their terrorist allies can use to minimize the effects of drone strikes. No thanks, but I'd rather win this war.

Notice how quiet these POSes are when it comes to health care, or the banks, or the auto companies. Just more scum that must be cleaned up.

These kinds of questions ought to be discussed and debated publicly, not resolved secretly behind closed doors. While the Obama administration may legitimately withhold intelligence information as well as sensitive information about military strategy, it should disclose basic information about the scope of the drone program, the legal basis for the program and the civilian casualties that have resulted from the program. I guess it would be better if we carpet bombed entire villages to kill the war lords.
Or maybe it would be better to go in with a squadron of Apache Helicopters to wipe out these terrorist. Drones are just too efficient.
Did the ALCU run out of small businessmen to sue or something? Now they have to branch out in to being the guardian demons of terrorist.

"When did the ACLU joined Al-Queda?" Your question presupposes that at one time, they were at odds with each other. I've seen no evidence to support such supposition.
To: Sub-Driver
We ought to train the drones on the ACLU.

Yes bizarro. Would make some sense if it was the World Civil Liberties Union. Maybe they should rename.
Oh by the way I will send money to the ACLU should they ever support a gun rights case.
To: darkwing104
Um, when wasn’t ACLU on Al Qaeda’s side? And before that, all other enemies of Americans?

In a counter motion, lawyer for the Defense Department asked to be supplied with precise GPS coordinates of the ACLU’s lawyers professional offices and homes.
