"The ACLU sued on behalf of itself, other lawyers, reporters and scholars, arguing that the program was illegal and that they had been forced to alter how they communicate with foreigners who were likely to have been targets of the wiretapping."

Isn't that the whole purpose of wiretapping to monitor foreigners who may pose a problem to America's security?

I always thought the A in ACLU stood for protecting the rights of American citizens not of foreigners.
