#1 Judge Hogan's a Reagan appointee. Notch up one for the Gipper.

#2 "There is no getting around the fact that authorizing monetary damages remedies against military officials engaged in an active war would invite enemies to use our own federal courts to obstruct the Armed Forces' ability to act decisively and without hesitation."

To the plaintiffs and the ACLU, that isn't a bug, it's a feature.

#3 The only pertinent question is: What would they do if they captured one of our boys?

#4 Those determined to be unlawful combattants under the Geneva Convintion have NO rights. The ACLU is attempting to create a US Constitutional right for such prisoners. The ACLU needs to be shut down - preferably by force. The ACLU is determined to destroy the United States from within, or to weaken us sufficiently forces from outside can do so. They are enemies of the United States and its people.

#7 What I think is the most interesting is how the MSM has covered for the ACLU all of these years. It could not have been very difficult to find this (and other) information and it would certainly have been of interest to the majority of Americans. It is getting more and more difficult to believe that the major networks are not also actively working against American interests. How else can you explain all of the information that has been withheld from us for the last 20 years? All of these years we have been reading/watching Pravda and just didn't realize it.

#8 When I was a kid, I believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the UN and the ACLU. I still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny.

Longer than that for the NYT - they've always had a soft spot for communist and anti-American regimes. See their denial of the Soviet-engineered Ukrainian famine, their soft-pedaling of Holocaust rumors while the publisher was using connections to get his family out, their glowing praise of the Khmer Rouge when they took over Cambodia, and their entire Vietnam War coverage. That was all over 30 years ago.

I apologize but I don't have time to find links to all these allegations right now. I'll try to dig some up when I get home...
