AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES?:

ACLU sues gov't over drones (JEN DIMASCIO, 3/16/10, Politico)

The American Civil Liberties Union sued the federal government Tuesday to learn the use of unmanned drones for targeted killings by the military and CIA.

“In particular, the lawsuit asks for information on when, where and against whom drone strikes can be authorized, the number and rate of civilian casualties and other basic information essential for assessing the wisdom and legality of using armed drones to conduct targeted killings,” the ACLU said in a statement, announcing its action.


Have they really gotten themselves so confused over the supposed "rights" of our enemies that they think the US Constitution protects them on foreign soil?
