Geez, where are the ever present lawyers are scum comments?

[Ramcat]

Some American lawyers definitely are scum.
Don't know about Iraqis?
Will this do?

Lawyers in Iraq don't count; they aren't making millions picking the pockets of the rest of the nation, and you can bet they aren't making loads of money getting criminals off on technicalities (Not directed at all lawyers here - plenty of them are good people not involved in these types of shenanigans).
It would really be inappropriate for a lawyer here to suggest that the legal beagles here have something in common with this guy. Kind of like in the 80's when American Unions tried to claim some kind of 'brotherhood' with Solidarnosc of Poland, when the Poles were after some level of freedom and would have thought they were in heaven if they'd had what workers here (union and otherwise) already had.
