The Pentagon got rid of some garbage today. Charles "Cully" Stimson has quit.
Stimson quit over the controversy he created by questioning the patriotism and integrity of American law firms that would dare represent Guantanimo detainees.
Stimson drew outrage from the legal community -- and a disavowal from the Defense Department -- for his Jan. 11 comments, in which he also suggested some attorneys were being untruthful about doing the work free of charge and instead were ''receiving moneys from who knows where.''
He also said companies might want to consider taking their legal business to other firms that do not represent suspected terrorists.
''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 told Federal News Radio.
Stimson is a bum. The Pentagon has enough problems without his kind of malignancy.
