More on Stimson

Michael Froomkin comes up with some reasons to doubt the sincerity of Stimson's apology.


Update:

This post from Firedoglake brings a lot of threads together before I had a chance to.

In a clear sign of an Administration-wide attack on the ability of the legal system to provide any accountability to the Administration in its handling of detainees, Attorney General Gonzales did his part on Tuesday by blaming the detainees' attorneys for any delays in bringing the detainees to trial. On Wednesday, he also criticized federal judges for presuming to interfere in these cases involving terrorists. Jonathon Turley summarized our Attorney General’s broad attack on the rule of law on MSNBC's Countdown Wednesday night, and that was before Gonzales tried to explain that the Constitution does not provide every person with the centuries old right of habeas corpus.

I love it when people do my job for me. I think.

By the way, it appears that the Fortune 500 are not heeding Stimson's call for retaliation.
