ACLU Double Standards By Rob Say Anything October 2, 2005 Hmm… <<< WILMINGTON, Del. (WBOC/AP) - Civil liberty advocates are objecting to New Castle County’s new effort to fight prostitution: posting offenders’ names and photos on a Web site. The new Web site features photos of convicted prostitutes and their clientele. The police say they hope it will discourage others from committing the same crimes. But Delaware ACLU Executive Director Drew Fennell said public humiliation should not be used as a law enforcement tactic. He said the photos are degrading not only to the individual, but the person’s family, friends and employer. >>> Meanwhile… <<< New York — Saying the United States “does not surrender to blackmail,” a judge ruled Thursday that pictures of detainee abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison must be released over government claims that they could damage the U.S. image. U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein ordered the release of certain pictures in a 50-page decision that said terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan have proved they “do not need pretexts for their barbarism.” The ACLU has sought the release of 87 photographs and four videotapes taken at the prison as part of an October, 2003, lawsuit demanding information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and the transfer of prisoners to countries known to use torture. The ACLU contends that prisoner abuse is systemic. >>> Just to sum up the ACLU’s positions: Embarrassing hookers: degrading and humiliating. Embarrassing America’s military and troops: a perfectly acceptable and desirable thing. Glad to know where they stand. sayanythingblog.com wboc.com theglobeandmail.com
