    Who defends the ACLU when their liberties are infringed? The ACLCLU?

    Broke the story?!? As in 'made sure it was published as a one line story on page sixteen of the entertainment section?' When did YOU first hear about it? Why wasn't something done in January? And who besides the poor patsies at the bottom did they demote?

    Court martials for the people who did it, honorable discharge for their superiors, slaps on the wrist for THEIR superiors, and the Secretary of Defense gets called "The Best Defense Secretary Evar."
