ACLU to Gitmo inmates: Prisoners advised of 'right' not to answer interrogators
2005-08-20
U.S. military sources tell Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin that American Civil Liberties Union attorneys have been permitted to advise Guantanamo Bay prisoners, including Taliban and al-Qaida operatives, that they have the right not to answer the questions of interrogators.
In addition, the Pentagon has brought in a veteran staff attorney from the ACLU to serve as chief defense counsel in future military tribunals.

#14  Really, why are any of you shocked, when they refuse to sign a piece of paper saying that they won't assist terrorist organizations, and are one of Lynne Stewart's biggest fans?

#13  They do have the right to be silent while the die.

#10  The ACLU are acting like traitors. They should tread VERY carefully. One more attack and they may find themselves in detention camps.

#8  If there is a nuke set off in an American city courtesy of the R.o.P., ACLU members and the "Dennis" Raimondo crowd at Anti-war.com along with Cindy and all the others, will find themselves inside internment camps after Congress re-authoritizes a newly minted Sedition Act.

At least, those that survive.

#7  First off, the inmates are NOT americans and do NOT have the rights we do. Second, the ACLU has NO rights or legality to stick their noses into international affairs. Third, these inmates are terrorists, not prisoners of war and do not get the rights a soldier under the Geneva code do. They could be hung from streetlamps after they were caught, and it would all be legal.

The erosion of solidly American rights by the ACLU is causing more damage to our society than any terrorist could do. The ACLU better watch out, or they will find themselves on the wrong end of a rope from a streetlamp.

#6  I don't think most AQ members need the ACLU to advise them not to talk to US interrogators. What the ACLU does and says is strictly for domestic consumption.

#5  If the MSM and the ACLU did work in a sophisticated manner on behalf of the enemy, how would we be able to tell the difference?

#3  I am just afraid that it will take a serious hit on us before we collectively wake up. I hope not. The MSM ACLU et al keep shooting off their mouths become nobody stands up to them. So they fill the vacuum. They are the fifth column and their actions are designed to bring down American society. Unintended consequences be damned. They have only the one goal, suicidal as it is.

#2  Prediction:

If there is a nuke set off in an American city courtesy of the R.o.P., ACLU members and the "Dennis" Raimondo crowd at Anti-war.com along with Cindy and all the others, will find themselves inside internment camps after Congress re-authoritizes a newly minted Sedition Act.

ACLU members et al. will come to appreciate that these camps are for their own personal safety given that well-armed private citizens, looking at the figure of 400,000 murdered Americans from the Jihadi nuke attack, will have lost patience for the Michael Moores of this country.

So the Left had better hope and pray that such an attack never occurs because they along with the R.o.R will be in the bull's eye. And yet, the ACLU is doing everything in its power to make such a nightmare unfold.

#1  Fucking ACLU, they should be shot as traitors. Those
muslim asshole would just as soon blow up their kids as look at them, and they flock to give them free legal coucil. These guys are simply out of touch with society. They go to the mat for 600 animals, and the other 280 million of us can eat shit as far as they are concerned. I'm sure they are working on a class action law suit against the federal govt. in which they will want at least 300 million apiece for the detainees. I wish to god- "If you are a good and mercifull god, please let their plane crash into a mountain".
