“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.

Most administrations woiuld tell the ACLU to pound sand and fight this all the way. However, the Obama admin is more likely to roll over and give it up.

This is scary.

ALL members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban are aware that they are engaged in violent acts against the United States and are subject to detention and arrest if apprehended. Applicable common law and various statutes endorse the doctrine that force may be used against such persons without warning if apprehension is impossible or if such warning would an unreasonable danger of evasion or violent resistance.

Just to make sure, I hereby place all members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban currently resident in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia under citizen’s arrest for murder and sabotage, and for aiding and abetting murder and sabotage, acts I have actually witnessed or of which I have direct knowledge as prescribed by the common law and the statutes of the State of Texas, of which I am a legal resident. Come out with your hands up or we’ll shoot.

Now, bugger off, ACLU.

This is obviously based on the common belief among lefties that we need a legally correct law enforcement approach rather than military force for the struggle against terrorism.
Unfortunately, Osama bin Laden is still at large, but could the ACLU’s non-military, due-process approach really work? Perhaps they would like to show up the Pentagon by trying it themselves:

ACLU Babe (peering into cave): “Come out, Mr. Bin Laden, I have a suitcase full of arrest warrants for you.”

Osama: “Be gone, impudent strumpet of the Great Satan!”

ACLU Babe : “Well! There’s no reason to talk like a Republican. It’s to your advantage to stand trial, you know. You could explain how your impoverished childhood and Bush’s Imperialist Foreign Policy caused the revolt on September 11th. Our top historian, Oliver Stone, says so.“

Osama: (Mumbling) “Impoverished? Revolt? Buwaaahaahaa!” (shouting again) “Silence, brazen female without veil. You should be stoned.”

ACLU Babe: “Stoned? Thanks, but this is no time for an office party, and your chauvinism is Republica—, er, repugnant. Please, we can help! Media interns, er, peace activists, have ordered a million ‘Free Osama’ tee shirts. Saddam Hussein’s personal lawyer, Ramsey Clark, might help with your defense.”

Osama: ”Clark? Phooey! His clients keep getting bombed or hanged. Not want Saddam’s lawyer anyway! Saddam was blasphemer and communist!”

ACLU Babe: “Commu-—? Accchhh! That’s McCarthyism! First sexism, and now this! The horror! You belong in prison after all! Come out now, you red-baiting sexist beast!”

Osama: “Enough of your insolence, hippie harridan!”

(We leave the scene as 200 armed terrorists swarm out of the cave.)
