Is this the ACLU coverage of CISPA you're talking about?

The ACLU appears to oppose CISPA just as strongly as the EFF. I may have missed something, but I'm not able to find substantial disagreement between their positions on this one. Am I missing something here, or is it a matter of style rather than substance that you dislike?
I note in particular that the ACLU agrees with the EFF about the language of CISPA being too broad. One of its recommendations is that CISPA should be amended to "Narrowly define the privacy laws it will contravene. The committee must carefully consider what privacy laws truly inhibit necessary information-sharing and craft narrow exceptions limited to just those critical circumstances." I have to agree with both the ACLU & EFF on this point. While this is indeed a common complaint about internet legislation, it is not an unreasonable one.
Admittedly, I have not compared their stances on SOPA, but SOPA should be pretty much irrelevant now, I hope.
