“The New York chapter of the ACLU is suing the police for searching bags in the subway system. We knew this would happen because the ACLU has opposed nearly every anti-terror measure authorities have come up with since 9/11. The ACLU opposes allowing the feds to have floating wiretaps that would monitor cell phone conversations of suspected terrorists. It opposes American civilians assisting the border patrol. It opposes the profiling of suspected terrorists. It opposes military tribunals to try captured terrorists. It opposes coerced interrogations of captured terrorists. It has demanded that more pictures of Americans abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib be released knowing that will help Al Qaeda recruitment. If the ACLU wants money it should contact the Al Qaeda fundraisers. No organization in America enables terrorism as much as the ACLU. The only thing we can do is hold people who raise and give money to the ACLU accountable. There are many issues I struggle with, trying to decide what is right and what is wrong so I can present a cogent analysis to you. But the ACLU’s opposition to all anti-terror measures is not one of those issues. This is a dangerous organization. The evidence of that is overwhelming.”

In my view, whatever good the ACLU has done in the past and still may currently do, the fact that they open us up to danger is inexcusable.
