Hūhū with ACLU

Here they go again. The loeal ACLU is now supporting Portland, Ore.'s very correct refusal to inter-

rogate those on Attorney General Ashcroft's McCarthyesque list of "individuals with non-immigrant visas... in relation to... Sept. 1 1 attacks." Yet the chapter refuses to disassociate itself from the Virginia ACLU's successful court case lifting the half-century law against Ku Klux Klan cross-burning to terrorize African-American and Jewish citizens. No wonder so many former and potential supporters are increasingly turned-off by their arbitrary sense of justice. David Roth Honolulu
