ADL: Unaccountable and dangerous to American liberty

I am only now beginning to learn much about the ADL. I recommend a video I watched recently titled, "Hate Laws."
Why is such a secretive and unaccountable group being used by our federal law enforcement and national media as a resource on critics of Israel and government in general? I certainly don't trust the ADL to accurately identify 'terrorists' and such. To me, the ADL is a police state organization that is used by law enforcement and media as an authority on threats to the United States and our people when, in fact, the ADL is very much a threat to the liberty and privacy of all Americans, and a direct threat to the First Amendment (Free Speech) to the US Constitution.
Following is an email conversation I had with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) webmaster. It's clear that if we want any information about the ADL, it won't come from the ADL. We have to seek out the work of independent investagators.

Does the ADL have a chat site or forum list to discuss issues of socio-political import?

Hello, ADL,
Does the ADL have any recommendation for a web site where I might interact with supporters of the ADL to discuss socio-political matters?

You mean, there is no one I can talk to at ADL to dialogue with and that there is no ADL forum where one might discuss ADL issues?

Hello, ADL,
And why do you assume that I am not a member of the press?

Members of the press identify themselves and their media outlet immediately.

Hello, ADL,
I must have missed that law. Is that a federal law that members of the press must identify themselves immediately?
