Some of the nation’s wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.
The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo.

Like vultures gliding over our heads...
How many of them have connections to Holder’s law firm?
I’m glad somebody is maintaining a list for the day when we have an administration that has the balls to prosecute people for treason.
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them ***Aid and Comfort***”
There’s no statute of limitations on Treason. If I were working for one of those law companies, I’d be thinking about getting out real soon now.
Covington and Burling is Holder’s firm. They represented 17 Yemeni detainees and did over 3000 hours of pro bono work last year. Where’s the outrage?
1. Who is paying for these defense attorneys?
2. How much did these attorneys contribute to Zero’s campaign?
Why not just make it a precondition for aiding these terrorists win release that their lawyers have to house them in their homes for their first 12 months following release?
It's sad we feel we have to wait for some savior of a politician or administration to save us. There will never be such an administration until the people have the balls to clean this mess up. Our politicians are in the same bed as the attorneys. Hang them all and then we can make some progress. Until then, it will be business as usual with complete disregard for the american taxpayer and voter. The politicians and attorneys are justified in their disregard. I'm sure they laugh about the unwashed masses behind closed doors. Why shouldn't they. We let them get away with whatever they care to do. Rape and pillage the country. No one cares enough to stand up and do something about it.
Who is actually PAYING for this low life legal representation?
Hmmmmmmm?
Let me guess.....
Well, at least these traitors are making it easy for us to identify them. File it for future reference. I find it difficult to fathom the depths of their madness.
Why are they not if jail for TREASON as they have helped kill Americans and other people of the world?
Typical of anti-American left wing pig faced Lawyers.
” 1. Who is paying for these defense attorneys? “
.... taxpayers
I had said all along that the libs wanted them here so it woiuld be a $5 million minimum payday per case for liberal attorneys. Must be all taxpayer money and maybe some Saudi money.
