They Just Don’t Get It.
That’s right, the ACLU just doesn’t get it. In scanning the ACLU’s news page, they illustrate that Karl Rove’s words were dead on.
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Mr. Rove said at the annual dinner of the New York State Conservative Party.
The ACLU fits that liberal label to a T. They have their knickers all in a twist over the plan to place parts of the FBI under the control of Director of National Intelligence.
The following can be attributed to Timothy H. Edgar, ACLU Policy Counsel for National Security: "Spies and cops have different roles and operate under different rules for a very important reason: to ensure that our law enforcement agencies stay within the Constitution. This proposal could erode the FBI’s law enforcement ethic and put parts of the FBI under the effective control of a spymaster who reports to the president – not the attorney general."
Perhaps they have forgotten one of the causes that led to 9/11, namely a lack of sharing between the FBI and the CIA. Putting the international pieces together with the national pieces. In no way does this errode the Constitution, nor does it turn FBI agents into spies. It gives them another route to get their information out and in the stream of Intelligence gathering, so as to potentially avoid another terrorist attack. The ACLU would prefer to live in a 9/10 world, rather then facing the facts that our world changed the following day, and that we need to change with it.
STOP THE ACLU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
