The Fallout Over Cully Stimson

Charles "Cully" Stimson is a deputy defense secretary who earlier this month called on corporations to boycott law firms who were trying to help Guantanamo detainees.

From Yahoo! News:

"The major law firms in the country ... are out there representing detainees," Cully Stimson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, said in a Federal News Radio interview Thursday, available online.

"And you know what, it's shocking," he said.

"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."

Earlier this month, the California bar association was asked to investigate him for violating legal ethics. And now he's resigned!
