Date: 2007-01-12 (Friday)
“I think the news story that you’re really going to start seeing in the next couple of weeks is this: As a result of a FOIA request through a major news organization, somebody asked, ‘Who are the lawyers around this country representing detainees down there?’ and you know what, it’s shocking.”
“I think, quite honestly, when corporate C.E.O.’s see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those C.E.O.’s are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms, and I think that is going to have major play in the next few weeks. And we want to watch that play out.”

Charles D. Stimson, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs in an interview on Thursday with Federal News Radio, a local Washington-based station that is aimed at an audience of government employees.
