Well, the American Certainly Loonie Union is at it again.

Oh, you know, they're the guys who ostensibly work to preserve our rights of free speech (unless that speech happens to come from a Christian or from the right), of free press (unless it's the Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, or any other progenitor of conservative principles), and free religion (as long as you mean free FROM religion and not free to practice religion). [Click HERE for a statement of the ACLU's mission.]

Now, they're stepping up to the plate to make sure that Gitmo detainees get their full portion of rights as they're being prosecuted in military tribunals for practicing terrorism (allegedly) against the United States and her people.

I thought it was the AMERICAN civil liberties union? I thought that the rights granted under our Constitution were guaranteed to Americans? Since when did we extend our rights, fought for and earned by the shedding of American blood, to foreign nationals, especially foreign nationals who killed thousands of Americans in the worst attack on America since the Japanese pulled off that little sneak attack on Pearl Harbor? Worse still, why SHOULD we extend those privileges to them?

Let me tell you something, American Communist Lipservice Union! If those same enemy combatants were captured perpetrating those crimes in their own countries, they wouldn't have any of those rights and their interrogations would have been a tad bit worse than a little pretend drowning! Last time I checked, people lost parts of their bodies for theft in Muslin countries and a heckuva lot more than that for crimes more severe! Oh, and they don't do some little lethal injection thing, either! It's hanging by the neck until dead!

When those clowns do something to earn some rights, I say let 'em have some, but to extend American civil rights to non-citizens is just plain stupid and totally counterproductive, especially in light of what these criminals have perpetrated against us!

Oh, and don't get me wrong! I'm not saying that we should abuse non-citizens just because they ARE non-citizens. I AM saying that we should apply whatever measure of justice they could expect to receive in their own home, NOT roll out the red carpet and presume innocence when there's a clear burden of proof on the accused in their own homeland!

The sad part is, most of these dunderheads will tell you that a little waterboarding to save 10,000 American lives is not worth the price that poor little terrorist had to pay as he pretended to drown.

I'd say drown a million of them if it would save ONE American! It's the only justice they understand and certainly the only incentive they have NOT to do it again!

Shame on you, ACLU!
