Anthony Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, discusses the position of the ACLU in regards to terrorism and other wartime legislation.

-----

"In Defense of America: Fighting A Different Kind of War, Without Becoming A Different Kind of Country" with Anthony Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

President Bush says the U.S. is fighting a "different kind of war," but does that mean it must become a different kind of country? Rather than justifying the usurpation of constitutional powers, this war demands that we stick to our core values more strongly than ever, says the ACLU. Romero shares examples from the legal war that he has been fighting at home.

Anthony D. Romero is the Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, the nation's premier defender of liberty and individual freedom. He took the helm of the 87-year-old organization just four days before the September 11, 2001 attacks. Shortly afterward, the ACLU launched its national Safe and Free campaign to protect basic freedoms during a time of crisis. Under Romero's leadership, the ACLU gained court victories on the Patriot Act filed landmark litigation on the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody, and filed the first successful legal challenge to the Bush administration's illegal NSA spying program.

Romero, an attorney with a history of public-interest activism, has presided over the most successful membership growth in the ACLU's history and more than doubled national staff and tripled the budget of the organization since he began his tenure. This unprecedented growth has allowed the ACLU to expand its nationwide litigation, lobbying and public education efforts, including new initiatives focused on racial justice, religious freedom, privacy, reproductive freedom and lesbian and gay rights.

Anthony Romero and his left wing pussy followers are a bunch of terrorists

[mrbriscoe2001]

he said his organization had been working on positive ideas on the War on terrorism...and then offered nothing but 90% criticism again..just ACLU P.R. he brought up some good points-but just validates the ACLU as obstructionist----and the idea of surrendering to the inevitability of another terrorist attack---shows you his mindset-they'll oppose most any government tool-terrorism is inevitable,anyway...

@andocrates Hello? Anyway, if my history is correct, the USSR put communism into practice at about 1924. I believe he stated "communism is the goal" in 1939. So, according to you, communism was a mere theory for.....about 15 years for Baldwin? That's why I would like to know when he recanted, and why. I would like specific years and your sources. Thank you.

[FFFFbody]

@andocrates Do you know when he recanted? What year?

[andocrates]

@FFFFbody He said that back when communism was sftill a theory. When the USSR put communism to practice Roger Baldwin rejected communism. General Patton called him to Japan to write the civil right portion of their constitution.

@andocrates Hey buddy...explain then ACLU founder Roger Baldwin quote "Communism is the goal"?

[FFFFbody]

ACLU is a dangerous organization. Their founder Roger Baldwin always said "Communism is the Goal". ACLU defends terrorists and Obamacare. Think about it. Obamacare is socialistic principal, Obama is a socialist, but no lawsuits against Obama administration. ACLU is just partisan rags for the Socialist Democrats.
