He did not defend Hamdan. He attacked the system in an effort to reduce the need to defend Hamdan. Guilt or innocence was never addressed, only the process.
I see nothing classy nor worthy of respect. The military men who risked their lives to bring Hamdan to justice are worthy of respect. The men who stand the wall to protect us from men like Hamdan are worthy of respect.
Playing the system to prevent sleaze like Hamdan from getting the penalty they deserve is hardly worthy of respect.
