Supporters of the leadership of the American Civil Liberties Union have created a Web site in response to one started last month by critics of that leadership.

“This Web site came about because those of us who know the A.C.L.U. very well were very disturbed that a few unhappy people were attacking the organization at a time when the A.C.L.U. is doing such a great job — and is greatly needed,” said Laura W. Murphy, a former director of the organization’s Washington office and a leader behind the new Web site, voicesfortheaclu.org.
