ACLU Darling Judge Orders Release of Surveillance Documents To Protect Civil Rights Group ...

So, it doesn't really matter that a Congressional panel (you know, those guys 'n gals we elected to represent us) has
decided to table an inquiry against the electronic surveillance program.
A Clinton appointed judge, and ACLU darling, has ordered Bush to relase info about the surveillance program, in order to prevent "irreparable damage" to a group that receives funds for at least one of its projects from George Soros.
From BreitbartNews: A federal judge ordered the Bush administration on Thursday to release documents about its warrantless surveillance program or spell out what it is withholding, a setback to efforts to keep the program under wraps.
U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy ruled that a private group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, will suffer irreparable harm if the documents it has been seeking since December are not processed promptly under the Freedom of Information Act. He gave the Justice Department 20 days to respond to the group's request.
Huh? A private civil rights' group's well being is more than the security of the US people?
From
Wikipedia:
EPIC works with several non-governmental organization (NGO) coalitions, including Privacy International[4], the Internet Free Expression Alliance[5], the Global Internet Liberty Campaign[6], the Internet Democracy Project, and the Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue[7]. EPIC also maintains The Privacy Site[8] and Observing Surveillance[9].
In addition, EPIC coordinates the Public Voice[10] coalition, launched in 1996 to promote public and NGO participation in decisions concerning the future of the Internet, as well as the National Committee for Voting Integrity[11], which was established to promote voter-verified balloting and to preserve privacy protections for elections in the United States
EPIC recenty linked an article titled: "
The Security Threat of Unchecked Presidential Power" to their website.
Funding for at least one of their projects was provided by
George Soros:
In 2004, financial support for the 2004 Privacy and Human Rights report was provided by the Open Society Institute and the Ford Foundation. (the Ford foundation will give money to anybody; George Soros' Open Society gives money to anyone who promotes a leftist agenda, or hates Bush -- FB)From the
RealityCheck, in an article written by Jim Kouri, vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, and former chief at a New York City housing project:
The executive director of EPIC is Marc Rotenberg, who served as counsel to Senator Patrick Leahy. Another EPIC honcho is Dave Sobel, who's made a name for himself fighting the Patriot Act...
Judge Henry Kennedy was appointed federal judge by none other than President William Jefferson Clinton. Prior to that he served in a number of positions, including Assistant US Attorney under another liberal president -- Jimmy "at least Hamas isn't corrupt" Carter. To say that Judge Kennedy is a liberal is the epitome of understatement. He's a favorite judge of the ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights -- which is trying to get suspected terrorists and enemy combatants released -- and other leftist organizations
Do not misunderstand me. I hate the surveillance, and I am not fond of the Patriot Act. However, I think these are fairly sane measures implemented after 9/11. And, with our wide open borders, it's probably part of what has prevented attacks on US soil.
I guess it probably doesn't matter, though. The surveillance project, because of publicity has suddenly become worthless. Al Quada terrorists might be nutcases, but they're not idiots.
New York City, and Washington D.C. are at the top of the terrorist target list. Alot of civil rights activist, and liberal judges live in those cities.
During the next mass terrorist attack, Judge Henry Kennedy, and EPIC honcho's will go up in flames like the rest of us. Along with their perceived civil rights, and our real ones.
