The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the National Security Agency for spying on innocent Americans without court approval. American freedom lovers know that this is unconstitutional.
The list of clients filing this lawsuit includes a surprising assortment of groups and individuals. Glad to see Christopher Hitchens is taking part. It has been disturbing to read some of his bizarre defenses of the Bush Administration's post-9/11 policies, most notably its pre-emptive war in Iraq. You can read Hitch's client statement on the ACLU's webite.
I'll be monitoring this lawsuit closely. But the real question, I suppose, is whether Big Brother (or perhaps more accurately, some government flunky working under a self-serving Bush-Cheney crony, e.g. "Brownie") is monitoring me, and you.
