This is a rather long article, but raises lots of disturbing questions. If the lawyers in question did these things, all the while rapping the
American taxpayers....why isn't the media, at least not the liberal media, all over this. And why aren't these attourneys in jail, as well as named
along with the names of their firms?
"We obtained Justice Department accounts of some of those incidents under a Freedom of Information Act request. Examples included an incident in
which a lawyer sent his detainee client the transcript of a virulently anti-American speech that compared military physicians to Joseph Mengele, the
Nazi doctor of Auschwitz, called DOJ lawyers "desk torturers" and suggested that the "abuses carried out by U.S. forces at Abu Ghraib . . . could
involve the President in the commission of war crimes."
Other incidents listed in the FOIA material included: a lawyer who was caught in the act of making a hand-drawn map of a detention camp's layout,
including guard towers; a lawyer who sent a letter to his detainee client telling him that "we cannot depend on the military to do the right thing"
and conveying his message of support to other detainees who were not his clients; lawyers who posted photos of Guantanamo security badges on the
Internet; lawyers who provided news outlets with "interviews" of their clients using questions provided in advance by the news organization; and a
lawyer who gave his client a list of all the detainees."
