Spies!!!

I didn't realize the ACLU approached people. Then again, the ACLU's role as a defender of civil liberties hasn't exactly been well-established.

Here's the problem I have with these complaints. Unless some kind of harm can be pointed to, I have a hard time giving a damn. "Oh, no, the government paid attention to these people who claimed they were going to overthrow the government, but then decided there wasn't anything for them to worry about or do." Free speech is not in question if you can speak freely without suffering governmental punishment. You are not being intimidated if there is no threat of action. I'll care once your civil liberties are actually being threatened, rather than when you just want to score political points.

Shouldn't they be glad that someone cared enough about their protest to monitor it?
