Stimson Resigns

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs Charles “Cully” Stimson who called for a boycott of law firms representing suspected terrorists has resigned.

"Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said ... [Stimson] had made his own decision to resign and was not asked to leave by Defense Secretary Robert Gates." Seems like a minus on Gates who should have done something for this. "The Bar Association of San Francisco last week asked the California State Bar to investigate whether Stimson violated legal ethics by suggesting a boycott of law firms that represent Guantanamo Bay detainees."
