...Howard Simon, the A.C.L.U.'S Florida executive director, argues that it is important to draw a line between prisons that make chaplains available to inmates and prisons that make faith their core corrections criterion. "We're glad the Governor wants to improve Florida's brutal prison conditions," says Simon, "but not under the condition that religious indoctrination has to be involved." A.C.L.U. lawyers are studying the extent of direct or even indirect government funding for Lawtey's religion-based activities before deciding whether to file suit against the program.

From, never very popular with mainstream Dems, gradually became toxic...
Rosenberg says the rift is more style than substance. From says it's about Howard Dean. "Simon jumped on the Dean bandwagon and abandoned the New Democratic movement because he wanted to be a player," From says, making the dispute public for the first time. "Dean didn't work out and now I guess he's trying the next thing...
