Has the ACLU sold out?
Permalink +Tue, Nov 29, 2005, 2:32 pm // Site Management
From an AP article today:"Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats."
-- and later in the article...
"Howard Simon, executive director of ACLU of Florida, said the Miami initiative appears aimed at ensuring that people's rights are not violated."
Reminds one of those movies of WWII with Gestapo agents demanding IDs from persons on the streets. We are moving to a police state. And the ACLU seems to be caving.
