The Justice Department is investigating the ACLU for knowingly taking pictures of covert CIA agents at Gitmo and handing them over to known al Qaida operatives.

The ACLU's explanation is that the terrorists involved--ones who played a direct role in planning 9/11--will need the names of the U.S. officials who interrogated them in order to cry foul at trial. Never mind the fact that there is already a secure, legal process for identifying covert agents behind closed doors in a way that doesn't jeopardize national defense.

And of course, Obama hasn't yet finished utterly bastardizing the Bill of Rights to blatantly misapply it to foreign terrorists, so these absurd, invented trials still don't even exist, hence none of this even makes sense. As always, the left's half-witted excuses for why it needs to be aiding our enemies and compromising national defense this week completely falls apart under even a moment of serious scrutiny.

Whether it be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Vietnam, trashing and undermining the war in Afghanistan until the moment it could be used to undermine the next war Democrats voted for in Iraq, or needlessly exposing the inner-workings of highly classified, completely non-controversial anti-terror programs...liberals always say and do whatever allows them to oppose national defense at the moment.

As the ACLU's founder, Roger Baldwin, put it:

I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.
