ACLU update I got in my e-mail today...

"These are extraordinary times for civil libertarians, which make for strange bedfellows. Witness a letter to the editor in a recent issue of The New York Times co-written by Nadine Strossen, President of the ACLU, and Phyllis Schlafly, President of the archly conservative Eagle Forum.

The ACLU, the Eagle Forum, and 40 other concerned organizations have come together to form a diverse coalition opposed to efforts by state motor vehicle officials to create a national identification system (national ID) through the bureaucratic back door of state drivers' licenses.

Each of these groups believes that national IDs -- even in the guise of standardized drivers' licenses -- are a serious threat to our privacy, liberty and safety. "
