CNN.com - ACLU sues over NSA eavesdropping program - Jan 17, 2006

I don't hold the ACLU in very high esteem and rhetoric such as:

"President Bush may believe he can authorize spying on Americans without judicial or congressional approval, but this program is illegal, and we intend to put a stop to it,"

"surveillance of Americans is a chilling assertion of presidential power that has not been seen since the days of Richard Nixon."

"The prohibition against government eavesdropping on American citizens is well-established and crystal clear,"

does not really imply to me that they are not extremist.

Why go to such creative lengths with statements like the above if the reality of it is so horrible. Mention "spying," and "Nixon," just appears as though they are trying to drum up images that are not so.

If Bush is the "evil overlord" that they say he is then they have a point. But they just appear to be in some imaginary world. The real world would be a much better place if they would just stick with reality since alot of effort goes into their games.
