The ACLU's Treasonous Activity

The ACLU has been surveilling and taking photos of covert CIA agents and presenting them to terror suspects so they can identify their interrogators in order to aid in these terrorists defense. We always knew the ACLU was insane in its defense of the most vile criminals; murderers, pedophiles and so forth, but now they are committing outright acts of treason, putting at risk the lives of our agents and their families and undermining our national security. We are being endangered by deranged leftists who make it their life's mission to find ways to destroy America, in this case by persecuting the people defending this country and protecting the jihadists who are out to mass murder us. The ACLU itself ought to be on the terrorist watch list and whoever took those photos needs to be tried on charges of treason.

Savor the silence of America's self-serving champions of privacy. For once, the American Civil Liberties Union has nothing bad to say about the latest case of secret domestic surveillance -- because it is the ACLU that committed the spying.

Last week, The Washington Post reported on a new Justice Department inquiry into photographs of undercover CIA officials and other intelligence personnel taken by ACLU-sponsored researchers assisting the defense team of Guantanamo Bay detainees. According to the report, the pictures of covert American CIA officers -- "in some cases surreptitiously taken outside their homes" -- were shown to jihadi suspects tied to the 9/11 attacks in order to identify the interrogators.

The ACLU undertook the so-called "John Adams Project" with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers -- last seen crusading for convicted jihadi assistant Lynne Stewart. She's the far-left lawyer who helped sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing and N.Y. landmark bombing plot mastermind, smuggle coded messages of Islamic violence to outside followers in violation of an explicit pledge to abide by her client's court-ordered isolation.

The ACLU's team used lists and data from "human rights groups," European researchers and news organizations that were involved in "(t)racking international CIA-chartered flights" and monitoring hotel phone records. Working from a witch-hunt list of 45 CIA employees, the ACLU team tailed and photographed agency employees or obtained other photos from public records.

And then they showed the images to suspected al-Qaida operatives implicated in murdering 3,000 innocent men, women and children on American soil.
