Pentagon Disavows Comment on Detainees

"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.

Is that all that got hit... their bottom line? Seems to me an awful lot of people died in those towers, and a lot more died overseas, and all you can banter about is the 'bottom line' for CEOs who are raking in the MILLIONS in executive compensation?

A Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Col. Brian Maka, said Stimson was not speaking for the Bush administration.

Stimson's comments "do not represent the views of the Department of Defense or the thinking of its leadership," Maka told The Associated Press on Saturday.

If that is true, then why is did the administration choose "to oversee detainee policy at Guantanamo"?

Why does Stimson still have a job with the administration overseeing detainee policy at Guantanamo?

Two reasons he should be out of job: Idioitc inflamatory statements and failing to follow policy.

Not to mention there's been absolutely no proof presented as evidence in a court of law yet, and also not to mention that while some of the other detainees have been there for five years without trial, any purported 9/11 terrorists ("the worst of the worst") did not arrive at Guanatanamo until very recently, since they were being held in secret prisons and shuffled around under extraordinary rendition, and were most likely the victims of torture.
