ACLU to Take On NSA (VIDEO)

January 17th, 2006 at 09:13 by MsUnderestimated

On Chris Matthews’ Slimeball today, ACLU attorney Ann Beeson tries to make the case for her plaintiff, Larry Diamond. The ACLU is recently taking up the matter in courts against the NSA’s spying program.

Mr. Diamond says he believes he was spied on. He is a senior advisor of the Hoover Institute.

Chris asks him: “What evidence do you have that you were spied upon by the NSA?”

Diamond: “We don’t have hard evidence, Chris, because we don’t know, the NSA doesn’t disclose…”

Chris: “…well then why are you a plaintiff then if you don’t know what you’re talking about?”

Diamond… “…because as the suit makes clear, we have reasonable ground based on what’s been revealed to draw an inference that the type of communications that we’ve had are being intercepted by the NSA.”

Huh???????

Excuse me, Mr. Diamond, but isn’t the burden of proof your onus? You can’t just make broad-brush generalizations against the NSA without any proof! That’s like saying I’m going to sue the city where I live because they have cameras up on traffic signals to capture red-light runners, and I may OR MAY NOT have inadvertently run a red light one time or another, so maybe I was a victim of entrapment. ???!!?? Yeah, doesn’t square, does it?

Part of this lawsuit is Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's granddaughter. Yup, the tratorous family strikes again. Ms. Meeropol doesn't want her clients' discussions monitored.

Sorry, but if you are talking to known terrorists, your communications are monitored and rightly so.
