Geez, tough crowd. OK, I’ll check out this “google” thing. It might we worth knowing who’s who. And besides, Lindh is already represented.

Forget becoming a First Tier Blogger. Just represent John Walker Lindh and you can be on your merry way to the Justice Department! And never report it and you can join the New York Times.

I bet if you were to google “Jawed Ahmad” and “attorney” you might be able to figure that out…

Cranky–This is really a good question. Notably, many Gitmo detainees were represented by a law firm associated with our now Attorney General.

From Col. Cucullu as appearing in the New York Post:

Holder’s previous job, after all, was as a senior partner with Covington and Burling – a white-shoe DC law firm that devotes considerable pro bono time to defending the Gitmo detainees. The job paid $2 million a year, and he expects to collect a like amount this year as part of his separation package.
