ACLU Sues Government Over Use Of Drones In War Zones
ACLU. American Civil Liberties Union. Really? Because it sure appears that they are (still) doing everything possible to not only protect Islamic jihadis, but, to make sure they have the information necessary in order to not be captured and killed by the US government. In my mind, this would be the very definition of “giving aid and comfort to the enemy”
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the federal government Tuesday to learn the use of unmanned drones for targeted killings by the military and CIA.
“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.
Why does it seem that almost every liberal group out there wants to provide information to the enemy? Personally, I think the fact that Obama has increased the use of drone strikes is a way of putting a check on the positive box. I do actually hate opposing the president on everything, you know.
“The government’s use of drones to conduct targeted killings raises complicated questions – not only legal questions, but policy and moral questions as well,” said Jameel Jaffer, director of the ACLU National Security Project. “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.”
The scope? To kill Islamists. Legal basis? War zone. Constitution. Civilian casualties? The ACLU has never been concerned about the use of civilians as human shields by Islamists. The US military does everything possible to avoid civilian casualties. Unfortunately, there is that “war zone” issue. And Islamists who use civilians as human shields. Oh, and the fact that this is occurring in other countries, ones which are not American. How about just butting out, ACLU. Go bug some school because they had an evil Santa figurine.

Hmmm… a guy named “Jameel” wants to know, does he? I wonder if he’ll tell his friend “Ahmed” who’ll tell his neighbor “Muhammed”, who’ll tell his baker “Sayeem” who happens to be an agent of his friend “Osama”, whom we’re currently looking for?
Pardon the profiling.
Ah what a pity it would be
If a drone did go off course you see
And send an errant missile or two
Right up the tail of the ACLU
I fail to see the connection between foreign policy/military and “civil liberties”
I guess they’re dropping the “A” in ACLU. If a drone is observing a war zone, in Afghanistan for example, what does this have to do with the civil liberties of Americans?
There’s nothing wrong with the ACLU that euthanasia couldn’t cure.
Aw, shucks; might as well ban bombs, bullets, grenades, RPG’s, missiles, and anything else that might hurt someone. Rubber knives MIGHT be ok (with a written warning). Oh, and that TOW missile thing; pretty cool to watch that beast waddle through the air, and then…BOOM!
What is the difference between the use of drones and any other weapon systems, including the use of a direct infantry attack? This suit is yet another indication of the abysmal level of educations available at our premier universities.
Given the number of former Al-qaeda lawyers now working at DOJ, including Eric Holder the AG himself, I’m surprised the ACLU even has to go to court.
I would take the legal documents to the can with me, wipe my butt with them, and mail them back to the ACLU.
Then again, I guess that’s why I’ll never be a diplomat.
I think we should investigate the aclu’s policies and employees, clearly something shady is going on.
How about we use the drones to bomb the ACLU. All they ever done is help the enemy in every way shape and form. A few monthes ago they were showing photos of CIA agents to the terrorist telling them where they live.
