The ACLU's Treason

The ACLU has gone beyond falsely claiming that captured terrorists have the right to civilian trials here in America, they are now fighting to prevent the American military from targeting and killing terrorists on the battlefield. These people are sick and should actually be tried for treason. The article also provides a background on the ACLU, which was founded by self-professed communists with the express purpose of overthrowing the American system under the guise of civil liberties. The goal of the ACLU has not changed from its origins.

The Day the ACLU Joined Al Queda

Daniel Greenfield, The Sultan Knish

December 1944. American artillery near the Belgian village of Losheim opens fire on advancing German troops during the Battle of the Bulge. Suddenly a jeep pulls up and a lawyer jumps out waving a piece of paper. “Stop what you’re doing immediately! I represent Obersturmführer Gunther Stoltz down there, and I have an order here from Federal District Court Judge Gantz forbidding you from killing my client without due process in an American courtroom.”

Insane yes, except that’s just what the ACLU is after. Captured Muslim terrorists have never lacked for civil liberties lawyers in the past. Whether it was collective organizations like the ACLU or the CCR, or pro-terrorist lawyers like Lynn Stewart or Stanley Cohen, there has never been any shortage of lawyers eager to fight for terrorists in or out of a courtroom. From enthusiastic defenses for terrorists on trial to fighting for the rights of terrorists detained in US military custody outside the United States, groups like the ACLU have served as Al Queda’s legal department before. But the ACLU and the CCR are no longer satisfied with fighting for the release of captured terrorists. Instead they’re fighting to provide terrorists in the field with immunity from US attacks.

The ACLU’s lawsuit on behalf of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a terrorist leader operating in the field, moves beyond protecting captured terrorists, and toward protecting active terrorists on the battlefield. It’s the equivalent of that jeep pulling up during the Battle of the Bulge with a stop firing order. The ACLU and its allied organizations have always hidden behind the argument that they were protecting the rights of defendants in the court system. But there is no court system here. Al-Awlaki is not in US custody. He’s conducting a terrorist campaign of attacks that includes the Fort Hood Massacre and the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Flight 253. What the ACLU is doing is arguing that the United States cannot kill Al-Awlaki on the battlefield, even though he’s trying to kill Americans.

The ACLU has actually filed court papers asking to allow them to provide “legal services on a pro-bono basis to Nasser Al-Awlaki, the father of Anward Al-Awlaki, as representative of the interests of Anwar Al-Awlaki.”

That’s an American organization providing pro-bono representation to prevent US forces from killing a terrorist on the battlefield, who continues participating in acts of terrorism against American civilians. And you might think that the pro-bono representation is because poor Anwar and Nasser are dirt farmers. Not the case. Not the case at all.
