Cetainly there seems to be a few sins of omission from this post  I have no particular axe to grind with the ACLU but on reading some of the comments on this discussion page I noticed one that said the founder was a Communist  Clearly this is important information as the ACLU was formed at a time when Communism was considered the pinnacle of antipatriotism in America  It certainly coloured my view of the organisation and I feel it would help to bring an insight into its formation  Yet this is not mentioned in the article  Surely this is pertinent given the progressive almost anarchic political leanings of the organisation past and present  I have to say from a neutrals point of view Im from the UK so the ACLU does not affect me one way or the other Im beginning to feel that this is not a neutral article  Its leaving out facts that I would like to know about
