The law firm of Shearman & Sterling is actively aiding and abetting our enemies. Meanwhile, our Justice Dept. does nothing:

thanks for that link, very long but eye-opening read
guess we should not be surprised at the enemies within, and what they'll do for $$

that 911 link refers to this article, as posted in Opinion Journal
the 911 link has added some graphics..

How an unscrupulous legal and PR campaign changed the way the world looks at Guantanamo.

some snips
Quote:

The strategy sought to accomplish two things: put a sympathetic “human face” on the detainees and convince the public that it had a stake in their plight.

A Montreal-based marketing firm was hired to create the families’ full-service Web site which fed propaganda–unsourced, unrebutted and uninvestigated by the media–aimed at the media all over the world. (note: families refers to the detainee's families)

Convinced that judges can be influenced by aggressive PR campaigns, Mr. Levick points to rulings in the detainee cases which openly cite news stories that resulted from his team’s media outreach.

so they went on a PR campaign, to have stories planted in the oh-so-willing press, then the courts cited these press reports in their rulings...all done with the help of funding from Kuwait

words escape me..

Shearman & Sterling isn't the only offender; such big law firms as Debevoise & Plimpton and Baker McKenzie are defending this country's enemies also. according to an article in a previous (Jan. 2007, I believe) WSJ article.
