US DASoDfDA calls for boycotting law firms that represent terrorism suspects

US deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs Cully Stimson has called on American companies to boycott law firms that represent suspected terrorists. He also claimed (obliquely) that the firms themselves are being funded by terrorists. This is the guy (and lawyer) we have running our military prisons? Someone who doesn’t believe in one of the core values of American democracy, the right of the accused to have competent representation in a court of law? ( _WaPo_ originally broke the story.)
