We intend the comments portion of this blog to be a forum where you can freely express your views on blog postings and on comments made by other people. Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published. Finally, the ACLU cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information in the comment section and expressly disclaims any liability for any information in this section. 5 Responses to "Encore of Inside Guantánamo Tonight!" |

We need alternative methods of viewing programs such as this. Some of us live in areas where cable is not available or in areas where cable is expensive. Some just don't spend enough time watching television to justify the expense, and others are just too busy working in their communities to fit a scheduled program into their evening. Isn't there a way to make the programming available online, on demand? And for those who can't do it that way, make it available on DVD? The DVD could contain all the same commercials that support the on-air version to HELP subsidize the cost of duplication, and the member could pay the cost of the media, packaging, and shipping - just keep it minimal (don't use it as a fund raiser.)

In our area, for example, the same DVD could be passed around to all of the other ACLU members who are too busy in the community to be watching TV during prime community hours.

What's wrong with this picture?
If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying
This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU , "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."
When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU." GOD Bless Our Warriors. Send the ACLU to France !
Please send this to people you know so everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is getting in trying to remove GOD from everything and every place in America May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!
What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

I think the timing for the release of this film couldn't be better. Look forward to checking it out and hope that it does the job it should.

Give me a break,Lucius Traveler is an idiot.That was not a sign of religion but a sign of christianity.If you don't realize the difference,maybe you should remove yourself from your position. There are some good traits about the ACLU in the fact that all people need to be treated equally.Did you serve our country in any way or manner?These are people who are willing to give their lives so idiots like you can spout off. Go over to Iraq or any other part of the world where they are protecting Americans.You would not last a day in these men/womens boots.It's easy to sit behind a desk and pick apart other people.Look in the mirror just one time and realize that our freedoms came from individuals and groups fighting for our rights to be free.I am glad you were not around when this country was founded and fought for.We would all be speaking another language today if people like you were there when it all began for the United States.
