A lawyer at the Department of Defense has declared that the clients of large law firms should take their business elsewhere (like where?) if they represent Gitmo detainees. (Tnx PrawfsBlawg) Legal Ethics Forum comments here; VC comments here, which is worth reading just for the hilariously uninformed comments by non-lawyers.
He also seems to indicate that large lawfirms are somehow sympathetic to terrorists.
Update: The Pentagon has disavowed all connection to his statements that most people think were quite anti-American. Strangely, I found a couple of folks that claimed to have interviewed him for jobs at these same large firms when he was in school.
