Talk:Center for Constitutional Rights

message: ECLC is mentioned nowhere in the text, the abbreviation is not explained and there is not link to an explanation.
so what about is this? early childhood learning community, as google's 1st hit suggests?
 - without this information this trivia is rather useless IMO.

Yes, solved by adding the heading Introduction. Otto 20:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I question the neutrality of this article. Just because an organization defends constitutional rights does not mean that it is left-wing. Most conservatives also value the rights of the constitution.
:I don't see where it says left-wing. Maybe it's been taken out since this comment. Clarify? LockeShocke 03:19, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Your reasoning that "because an organization defends constitutional rights does not mean that it is left-wing," LockeShock, is solid but the Center for Constitutional Rights happens pretty clearly to be on the far-left end of the U.S. political spectrum. See . Whether being left-wing is a good thing or not is up to you, but it's definitely left-wing (at least in the U.S. sense of the term). Syntacticus 18:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: CCR states that it is aimed to protect and advance the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, not that it "purports" to do so. To state that just because their litigation is not appreciated is POV. Otto 19:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The link in the criticism section no longer works. As an aside, I think it's a bit absurd to feature such clearly radical criticism. To say that the CCR is left-wing might be accurate; to say that it's the "terrorist legal defense team" is absurd. Perhaps someone can dig up a source who does not claim it's un-American or partisan to believe that all defendants deserve legal representation. This may seen POV on my part, to say that this view is too radical to deserve citation as a valid "criticism," but I just think it sounds a bit wing-nutty. There must be someone there who has a more meaningful criticism of the CCR than "OMGWTF! They defend terrurists! LOL!" S. Ugarte 15:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outdated link from criticism section 

message: I reverted an edit with the edit summary "people the US Government claims are" - this is tendentious. Terrorists do exist and some of them are suspected to be detained in Guantanamo
Yes, terrorists exist. And some are held in extrajudicial detention]] in Guantanamo. The wording I reverted implies that all the captives in Guantanamo are terrorist suspects. This is not true. Some were never suspected of being terrorists.
Abdullah Mujahid On August 12 2007 Farah Stockman, writing in the Boston Globe used Mjuahid'd story to comment on the Bush administration's claim that Guantanamo captives had been apprehended "on the battlefield".
Stockman described Mujahid as an early supporter during the overthrow of the Taliban, whose usefulness waned after their ouster, because he was illiterate, and was rumored to be corrupt.
