Boumediene v. Bush

I find it interesting that the ACLU and Amnesty International both claim this victory (or come close) and are looking for donations based on the suit. Mayer-Brown took the case Pro Bono - and that's not to say that this is a victory for all  of us and that includes Amnesty and the ACLU, but the press for donation makes my question, at the end of the day, if self preservation doesn't weigh so hard that organizations like this won't identify the fact that they weren't funding  the work. Both organizations target admiirable goals, but I recieve so many printed requests and phone calls that I start to question the spending of funds and how much $$ actually to the aid of victims.
