Terry Jones

 http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/04/23/defiant-pastor-turns-focus-city-hall/?t


After reading the article at foxnews.com I don't agree with what Terry Jones stands for but I would like to know where the ACLU is?
The US flag can be burned because it is freedom of speech.
Westboro baptist church can protest at my funeral because it is freedom of speech.
Why isn't the ACLU standing behind Terry Jones? His freedom of speech has been violated, the ACLU is here to protect our rights aren't they?
I feel his idea will have catastrophic consequences for our troops in the middle east and I am opposed to him burning the Koran but I also don't agree with protecting some peoples first amendment rights and not others.
This is taken from the ACLU's website:
"The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country."
