Kafka and Orwell, too. While being subjected to the Evil That Is Talk Radio last week, I heard the White House Press Secretary refer to the "CIA interview process" for suspected terrorists. He didn't say where they held these particular interviews, though surely it's over at the Ministry of Peace offices, don't ya think?

Re: A general reply
They also protect pedophiles too.
And televangelists - was it Robertson or Falwell they defended a few years back?
And:
NEWARK, NJ -- The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey today filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a case seeking to uphold an elementary school student's right to religious expression.
PROVIDENCE, RI -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island announced today that it has filed an appeal in federal court on behalf of a Christian prisoner who was barred from preaching during religious services at the state prison.
AbE: April 17, 2002: In a victory for the Rev. Jerry Falwell and the ACLU of Virginia, a federal judge strikes down a provision of the Virginia Constitution that bans religious organizations from incorporating.
