Backed by a slate of prominent legal figures, including former Attorney General Janet Reno and former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director William Webster, the ACLU has assembled a team of top civilian attorneys to supplement the military defense counsel assigned to represent Guantanamo’s “high-value detainees.” …

The effort significantly adds to the legal forces that over the past seven years have challenged the administration’s plan to run an offshore court that provides defendants fewer rights than civilian trials or courts-martial. The addition of the ACLU in particular, with its large financial resources, is a major shot in the arm for those who oppose the tribunal system.

Lee ADDS: If you are so naive as to think, even for a moment, that the ACLU has the Rights of American citizens in mind, think again! The ALMIGHTY DOLLAR of their contributors trumps any thought of protecting the Rights and LIVES of U.S. Citizens!
