[Charles Stimson], the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, said in a radio interview last week that companies might want to consider taking their business to LawFirm-s that do not represent suspected terrorists (e.g. those held at Guantanamo Bay)... Stimson listed the names of more than a dozen major firms he suggested should be BoyCott-ed. "And I think, quite honestly, when corporate [CEOs] see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those [CEOs] are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms," Stimson said.
Later, A Penta Gon spokesman, Lt. Col. [Brian Maka], said Stimson was not speaking for the George W Bush administration... Stimson's comments "do not represent the views of the Department Of Defense or the thinking of its leadership," Maka said.
