This is quite a hot topic you have bravely presented. Of course I have an opinion about everything but realize so do others.Blue Boobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504819843930360278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-33707348503371465032015-04-30T16:57:15.338-07:002015-04-30T16:57:15.338-07:00My Dear Jill,

The ACLU has been a pretty straight shooter over the years and they have voiced objections to those Drone strikes mentioned above but at nowhere near the intensity they would have if Bush had done it. With very few exceptions, those in official Washington have sat on their hands for these Drone strike executions while not that long ago performing Operatic Spasms of moral indignation over what they accused Bush of doing with waterboarding, Guantanomo, Abu Graib, etc.GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421822117996903245.post-71229142363131018702015-04-30T16:33:38.163-07:002015-04-30T16:33:38.163-07:00Oh GSL, I don't know what to write about this ...Oh GSL, I don't know what to write about this one. I don't feel a bit sorry for "American" terrorists who were killed in drone strikes overseas if they had joined ISIS or al-Qaeda. Not a bit sorry for them! They would bring so much harm to citizens of the United States if they could, and I feel they are actively planning it. I don't know if I approve of everything the ACLU does either, they certainly seem to pick and choose who they are going to fight for. Why would they think it's right or moral that a nut-job Nazi group gets to march through a neighborhood where Holocaust survivors reside? Really?<br /><br />Another thoughtful and provocative post, GSL. You always keep me both entertained and thinking! xxJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062587289685203227noreply@blogger.com
