Are the ACLU and the New York Times aiding the terrorist enemies of the United States with the recent leak on domestic eavesdropping operation? This puts the terrorist and the United States enemies on-guard for any future intelligence gatherings.
It is evident that the ACLU has no regard to the safety of American lives and completely disregard national security. An insider to the Bush administration leaked the story to the New York Times about the National Security Agency domestic eavesdropping operation approved by President George W. Bush. They did not ever take in consideration a federal law was broken by a traitor with inside knowledge of this operation, and American lives could be in danger since this news story was in fact aiding and abetting the enemy.
The US justice department has opened an inquiry into how information about President George Bush's secret spying program was leaked, officials say. The investigation is expected to focus on how the New York Times newspaper obtained the information.
If they are able to identify the traitors involved with this leak, they should be treated as traitors against the United States.
President Bush has admitted that persons with known links to al-Qaeda and related terrorist organizations were being monitored since the 9/11 attacks.
Of course, the ACLU is ranting that the investigation should be called off because they see this operation as a violation of the Constitution. In the yesterday's press release from the ACLU website:
NEW YORK – The American Civil Liberties Union today sharply criticized a Justice Department investigation into the disclosure of an illegal National Security Agency domestic eavesdropping operation approved by President George W. Bush.
In a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales as well as two full-page advertisements in the New York Times, the ACLU has called for the appointment of a special counsel to determine whether President Bush violated federal wiretapping laws by authorizing illegal surveillance of domestic targets
The following statement can be attributed to ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero:
"President Bush broke the law and lied to the American people when he unilaterally authorized secret wiretaps of U.S. citizens. But rather than focus on this constitutional crisis, Attorney General Gonzales is cracking down on critics of his friend and boss. Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistleblowers who are courageous enough to speak out on violations of the law."
"To avoid further charges of cronyism, Attorney General Gonzales should call off the investigation. Better yet, Mr. Gonzales ought to fulfill his own oath of office and appoint a special counsel to determine whether federal laws were violated."
The ACLU brags very openly about its two full page advertisements in the NY Times attacking President Bush for lying to the American people, when in fact he has admitted there is ongoing domestic eavesdropping. There are links to these ads and other like-items on the ACLU website.
