ACLU Argues Case Against Rumsfeld...

[bridgit]

'Today, in federal court, the ACLU and Human Rights First argued its case that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld should be held accountable for the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. military custody.

Today’s hearing marked the first time a federal court has considered whether top U.S. officials can be held legally accountable for the torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan.' http://www.talkleft.com/story/2006/12/8/11560/3313

1. Great!

And they've got Janis Karpinski's case in there too. She deserves praise.

There is hell to pay. But these guys have big guns behind them. Justice can take decades. I hope whatever happens, it weighs down on these criminals.

3. If anyone demonizes the ACLU

Remind them that the ACLU got Ollie Norths convictions overturned, and they helped get rash Limbaughs dope obsession charges dropped.
Thank your lucky stars we have an ACLU , even though we may disagree at times, its an American Icon that preserves freedoms
