Why do they hate America?
The NY Times has a disturbing piece on another Bushovik attack of the foundations of American justice. This time attacking lawyers for their pro bono legal work on behalf of the legal rights of those that the Bushoviks don't like.
The senior Pentagon official in charge of military detainees suspected of terrorism said in an interview this week that he was dismayed that lawyers at many of the nation’s top firms were representing prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and that the firms’ corporate clients should consider ending their business ties.The White House and AG "Abu" Gonzalez have tut-tutted his remarks but there will be no action taken against Stimson for making these reprehensible remarks. Indeed, we expect he will be rewarded for opening a new avenue of attack on American values. Sadly, he is another marker for the depths of infiltration into and the corruption of good government by Our Dear Leader and his evil minions.
The comments by Charles D. Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, produced an instant torrent of anger from lawyers, legal ethics specialists and bar association officials, who said Friday that his comments were repellent and displayed an ignorance of the duties of lawyers to represent people in legal trouble.
