New York Sun: Law School Deans Criticize Pentagon
These shouldn't be opposing forces, but welcome to planet bush! The pentagon did a press conference denouncing those lawyers and law firms that are/have defended Guantanamo detainees. These people's guilt or innocence, nor crime they are accused of has nothing to do with the fact that in America everyone has the right to be fairly represented. If they are guilty then the courts will find them guilty, the only reason a lawyer hurts a case is if those gathering evidence do so in an illegal manner or the person is innocent. If the person is innocent then clearly they deserve to go free. If the person is guilty but the proof was gathered in an illegal manner, well some will say that they are still guilty. And I don't argue that, but they should walk, if we allow illegal evidence to convict someone then what will be left to prevent police from abusing their authority?
