It’s hard to overstate how difficult (and commendable) it is for the ACLU to endorse propositions such as 'in some ways, [Obama's] administration is even worse than the Bush team when it comes to abusing the privilege of secrecy,' or for its Executive Director to say things like: 'I’m disgusted with this president.' The ACLU has long been one of the most admired organizations among liberals, progressives, Democrats, etc., and many of its donors, members, and the like do not want to hear that Obama is worse than Bush in many of these vital areas, or that his actions should provoke 'disgust.'... Not only are these remarkable statements from the ACLU a reflection of its typical organizational integrity, but they are also an obvious reflection of just how extreme and radical the Obama administration is.
