Hey, more good news. I hadn’t heard about this, but apparently a Pentagon official had suggested that companies boycott law firms representing detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Needless to say, the Pentagon itself wasn’t on board with him.

Charles “Cully” Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, said in a radio interview last week that companies might want to consider taking their business to firms that do not represent suspected terrorists.

…

A Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Col. Brian Maka, said Stimson was not speaking for the Bush administration.

Stimson’s comments “do not represent the views of the Department of Defense or the thinking of its leadership,” Maka told The Associated Press on Saturday.

At least the Pentagon as a whole is getting their heads on straight. Cully? You’re a friggin’ moron. Just thought you’d like to know. I don’t think I need to actually explain why, but I’ll do it anyway.

“And I think, quite honestly, when corporate CEOs see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those CEOs are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms,” Stimson said.

Actually, wait. Do I need to explain why he’s a friggin’ moron? No. No, I don’t.
