Of related interest is the Op-Ed in the NY Times by ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/09/opinion/pardon-bush-and-those-who-tortured.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/09/opinion/pardon-bush-and-th... It's saddening to read such a two-faced argument by the head of an organization I supported with both time and money. When even the ACLU would rather call for pardons instead of prosecution because they no longer believe it politically viable I feel there is little left to say on the matters of justice and law in my country. I can only hope Romero is soon fired so the ACLU can return to it's core mandate as written by them: The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country. ~ Once a country abandons it's laws it is soon then abandoned by it's people.
