Policy on 'terrorist' background checks makes nonprofits pause

Policy on 'terrorist' background checks makes nonprofits pause: "Federal employees can donate money to any of 2,000 nonprofit organizations in the Combined Federal Campaign this fall, but the American Civil Liberties Union won't be one of them.
Even though it expected to raise $500,000 from the charity campaign, the ACLU withdrew to protest a new requirement that nonprofits in the campaign check their staff against three government 'watch lists' of people suspected of terrorist activity."
