#4 A suspicious mind might ask why Greenpeace feels a need to insert itself in this case. Surely using the phones is less taxing on the environment than jetting back and forth for meetings?

#5 A suspicious mind might ask why Greenpeace feels a need to insert itself in this case.

Because they're in communication with overseas terrorists, and want to put an end to any intelligence program that might result in them being caught.

#6 You CAN sink a Rainbow! The frogs certainly got that one right.

#7 The same can be said with CAIR. Both are part of international terrorist organizations (some might make the same case the the ACLU is as well - but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader).

And does the program involve actual evesdropping (i.e. listening in to your boring 2-hour spiel about your mother's cyst) or simply identification of call patterns (i.e. knowing you call you mommy every day...) from known foreign terrorists?

#9 Something tells me some names will be conveniently excluded from the lawsuit. Yaknow like... Pelosi, Harman, Reid, Rockefeller...just a guess.

#10 Follow the money. The people behind this want to destroy this Republic and the "west." Isn't it time we destroyed them?

#12 Thank goodness the ACLU has straighted this out. Now there is now doubt what so ever that the ACLU are traitors working for Muslim terrorist.

Because that is their right, as traitors. Can any of you imagine what would have happened during WWII if they had tried to pull this crap with German sabotours?

#13 I wish there were someone in our government with big enough cojones to declare outfits like CAIR and the ACLU as "sponsors of terrorism". It's dead simple to prove the case, but the political fallout would be astounding. How many thousands of contributers would be surprised at the hidden agendas of these agencies? How many people who have tried to get help from one of these, or from other agencies similar to them, would be shocked to learn the true agenda of these organizations? We need to clean house in the United States, and the organizations listed in this article are as good a place to start as any.

#14 Mark Levin just traced the origins of these groups back to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

#15 Aren't you glad that these ass-clowns weren't around during WWII.

#16 Actually, it is too bad that these scumbags were not around in WWII. The Roosevelt Admin would have arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned them back then. And the filth would have spent a few decades in prison, until Jimmy Carter would have pardoned them, like he did with Tokyo Rose.

#17 The good thing is the ACLU is now finally going over a cliff in such a way that even a non-impartial observer can see they are on the side ofthe terrorists. This is NOT DOMESTIC surveillance- its surveillence of communications with foreign agest from within the US. The ACLU is going ot get its head handed to it by the coruts onthis one. Apparently they never bothered to read the initial articles of the constitution and th powers of the cheif executive in his role as Commander in Cheif in time of war.

Thank you ACLU - you can now truly be said to be the organization that protects TERRORISTS who woudl kill thousands more Amaricans if not constrained.

#18

Since the ACLU only does it to get some cash (lawyer fees), I imagine Greenpeace felt they needed to get some of the action.
