So Bush
signs the bill into law that will allow terrorists to be interrogated harshly, as they should be, and allow many top Al Qaeda agents to be brought to justice through military tribunals. “It is a rare occasion when a president can sign a bill that he knows will save American lives,” Bush said.

President Bush signed legislation Tuesday authorizing tough interrogation of terror suspects and smoothing the way for trials before military commissions, calling it a “vital tool” in the war against terrorism.

Bush’s plan for treatment of the terror suspects became law just six weeks after he acknowledged that the CIA had been secretly interrogating suspected terrorists overseas and pressed Congress to quickly give authority to try them in military commissions.

“With the bill I’m about to sign, the men our intelligence officials believe orchestrated the murder of nearly 3,000 innocent people will face justice,” Bush said.

With this the ACLU are having a good old-fashioned moonbat hissy fit, calling it one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history.

To highlight concerns with the act, the ACLU took out a full page advertisement in today’s Washington Post, calling itself “the most conservative organization in America.” Since its founding, the ACLU has fought to conserve the system of checks and balances and defend the Bill of Rights.

"I must admit this was pretty clever of the ACLU to call itself the most conservative organization in America. It is good to see they at least have a sense of humor about things. However, the rest of the ACLU’s whining about “torture” such as shirt grabbing of terrorist scum to get critical info is more along the lines of the ACLU we know and love to hate."

A day late, a dollar short, and it's a sad one at that when we've got to make it an actual law that our enemies can be interrogated without the promise of ice cream and a free pony to sweeten the pot.
