and the moneyquote:
I think, quite honestly, when corporate C.E.O.’s see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those C.E.O.’s are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms, and I think that is going to have major play in the next few weeks. And we want to watch that play out.
actually this last line is not accurate. he actually said fun to watch.
King George W again makes King George III look like a liberal, democratic, progressive politician. He makes himself look more like Saddam...
we are in a real mess. each day this administration outlaws, or tries to outlaw, rights fought for centuries, even the Magna Carta.
i think it's time to say
Impeach the bastard!

Andrew Sullivan makes a comment on this mess. However, he only asks for Stimson to be fired. He's only in place because of his boss, George W. It's not getting to the root of the overall problem.
He should be fired, if the deep damage that this administration has already done to the rule of law in America is not to be compounded. Andrew Sullivan/Daily Dish
A USA Today editorial weighed in also:
If the department's point man on detainees thinks the best use of his time and pulpit is stirring up resentment for detainee lawyers, he has a seriously skewed view of reality. America has huge problems at Guantanamo Bay. The presence of pro bono lawyers trying to ensure justice for detainees is not one of them. An Appalling Threat
The editorial also gives this addtional quote from Stimson that I missed:
In his interview with Federal News Radio, he (Stimson) suggested darkly that some of the firms "are receiving monies from who knows where, and I'd be curious to have them explain that."
Okay, I'll give Andrew a thumbs up on firing Stimson as a first step, then
Impeach the bastard!
