Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU, spoke last night at Town Hall to publicize his new book In Defense of Our America. Notwithstanding the scheduling genius that placed Romero opposite mega-bestselling author Khaled Husseini (The Kite Runner) the lower auditorium was full of citizens waiting to voice their displeasure with ACLU policies. Romero didn&#8217;t get any criticism for defending the Ku Klu Klan, Neo-Nazis, Ollie North, Fred Phelps, and NAMBLA. No, Seattle&#8217;s citizens wanted to know why the ACLU wasn&#8217;t actively supporting impeachment. During the Q&amp;A period the air nearly fogged up with liberaler-than-thou sentiment. Romero apparently has some experience quashing critics because he handled interruptions and interjections with aplomb.<\/p>\n<p>Romero described the book as aimed not at ACLU members, but at those family members and friends who don&#8217;t necessarily agree with the organization&#8217;s mission. It&#8217;s a collection of stories about people the ACLU has helped, and their cases, ranging from John Walker Lindh to an unfortunate man caught in jail in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n<p>We bought a copy.
