Certainly, not everyone has done a 180 on this. Attorney General Holder was never a supporter of military tribunals. As he said, “after 8 years of delay”, we are finally moving forward”. It is true. Very few military tribunals were ever carried out due to leftist attorneys’ attempts to derail the proceedings with legal challenges. Many of these attorneys are in the Obama Justice Department today – including Eric Holder, a former partner in Covington & Burling LLP. Covington and Burling represented at least 18 Guantanamo detainees, donating over 3,000 FREE hours of legal service, making Holder’s claim of “8 years of delay” even more incredible.

Countless lawsuits delayed the military trials. These same delays, created by law firms like Covington and Burling, are the Obama administration’s justification for holding civilian trials.

EXCERPT

Jonathan D. Blake, chairman of Covington ‘s management committee, said the firm signed up (Frank) Hunger because of “his trial experience, his DOJ background, his legislative savvy and the fact we can have some fun together. We think he’s a good guy.”

For his part, Hunger said he was attracted to the firm because of the opportunity to help map strategy for clients and litigation and to manage cases. He noted that a number of his friends are at the firm, including former deputy attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. and former Army secretary Togo West Jr.
