1 The general public has no idea of the depravity of the terrorists. Our military is keeping the dogs off and they don't even care.

2 So now they are the American/Iraqi Civil Liberties Union? And what amendment of the Iraqi constitution was violated? Maybe they should have said something when Sadam drained the marshes. Then I would've listened.

3 If they are representing a foriegn government they have to register under the foriegn agents act passed in 1933 and still is law to this day. After they do register as foriegn agents they should be disbarred from the ABA and everything they publish be considered propaganda of a foriegn government.

5 Attorneys Conflatiig Lies Unlimited .................Camel Poop does not ring true............. "This is not an acceptable tactic," ACLU lawyer Amrit Singh said Friday. OR "BDS Attorneys charge that the US Army routinely runs wife snatching torture cells all over the world." ..................*Tactics* *Smacktics*................ The tell-tale kibble & bits “leveraging” “secretive task force” “locked up the young mothers of a nursing babys” [must be a rookies, they left out Bambi & Bunnies] “Iraqi human rights activist Hind al-Salehi contends that U.S. anti-insurgent units, coming up empty-handed in raids on suspects’ houses, have at times detained wives to pressure men into turning themselves in.” LOL! US Army comes up “Empty Handed”!! = Full blown agit-prop BS. “American Civil Liberties Union” = Full Blown ENEMIES of the UNITED STATES MSM “stories” and "legends" raise more questions than supply satisfactory answers. Accuracy, context, agendas, facts left in, facts left out, etc. who trusts the ACLU or the MSM anymore? Our Military folks are intelligent, brave, street smart, well trained, well equiped, etc. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THESE ASSHATS CLAIM DIFFERENT! We’re at war, the WOT. Back here in the States, Police Forces, [local: Fed: State:] sometimes have to exert pressure on Spouses and families in garden variety and famous crime cases. for example: All capitol cases generally involve long interviews with suspects and their families. Serial Killers Dennis Rader’s [BKT killer] wife and family were held for extensive questioning and depositions and called back time and again. Gary Leon Ridgway [Green River Killer], 3rd wife the same. Or the Mafia families etc.

6 Terrorists have wives too. I know I saw one on TV after she was arrested, when her suicide belt did not explode in Jordan -- after her husband's killed a vast number of a wedding party guests (Lions of Allah?) Some of the wives are involved in the operations, and as such they should be held. They are not harmed, this is a justified tactic. The only people that can sympathize with this action, is those who feel sorry for the terrorist, who has to make the choice of turning himself in or letting his family sit in jail. Terrorist sympathizers should be in there with them -- in my opinion.

7 Do they not realize that we are watching their acts of treason as they are being committed, and that we will remember these things at a time in the future when the ropes come out? It's almost like they all want to get a hemp necktie.

8 ACLUs only interest is to bring down current administration and hopefully replace it with a leftist leaning one to assist them in furthering their domestic agenda. Iraq - these "wives" - are just available props - which they down really give a damn about anyway. Detain - arrest - same thing ... perfectly legal and acceptable here in USA for spouses of wanted fugitives suspected of providing assistance and obstructing justice. Happens all the time here - just 2 cases there???? You can do better ACLU! Left has failed miserably to date in coming up with a real knockdown issue - has clearly settled for the tactic of "death by a thousand pin pricks". Dream on pinheads!

9 If the LA Times was really interested in this type of tactic/action ... they could have easily taken a trip down to LA County Lock-up for firsthand experience or consulted any halfass criminal attorney! But that's not what this is all about, now is it?

10 Oh.... I'm not Jay.... For the sake of accuracy - Jay added the last two paragraphs to the thread, but this originally appeared on ACLU Watch and was requested that I cross post it to Stop The ACLU.

11 Just noticed something. ACLU (with all its resources) is doing its investigative searches HERE - AND LOOKING FOR DOCUMENTS/PAPER ETC. What! No field work? No office in Iraq? No investigators on the ground? No firsthand interviews, no personal photographs? Always did that in the past. No balls?

12 The ACLU is our biggist enemy this buinch of socialists want it safe for terrorists to be able to blow up a school full of kids and teachers the ACLU is the best freind the terrorists could ever get

13 Gribbit, I've added links to ACLU Watch.
