1. I wonder...
How long it will take before the ACLU is considered a terrorist organization ?

3. All over the A.M. hate radio dial they attack the A.C.L.U.
and the U.N.,they have been told to by the mandated neocons for destroying two very American organizations.They go off on saying how the A.C.L.U.is trying to ban the bible and the U.N. is a commie plot that wants to creat a one world government.They also believe in " W " because he is a man of strong convictions who never backs down.John Wayne was a shitbag actor who appealed to republiturds, and the A.C.L.U. protects rightwing nut ignorant speech,the U.N. wants to have rules the neocons want to break . It's all so simple Bush wants to rule the world by any means he and his greed patrol can dream up and we pay for it.
sorry about the rant.

4. This suit does NOT involve the Secret Service!
It is against local and state police.

As the story notes, the ACLU previously brought suit against the Secret Service, but this case has nothing to do with them.

5. Certainly. . .
I suppose the "headline" should say "ACLU considered suing the Secret Service but that fact eventually changed," But that was just too long of a title. Assuming people read the article, they'll see that the ACLU *did* originally sue but moved to other entities. Thus, the "and others" phrase was included at the end of the title. I'll try to edit it and make it clearer.

6. could not do the edit
I tried, but received a notice indicating that the edit period was over. Oh well, when people read the article, they'll figure out all the details for themselves.
