Former DOJ Officials, ABA Show Support for Guantanamo Lawyers
Prominent former Department of Justice officials are joining the growing criticism against efforts to question the ethics and loyalty of current DOJ attorneys who, in private practice, had advocated for Guantanamo Bay detainees. The Brookings Institution issued a statement on Sunday denouncing the attacks on DOJ attorneys as "shameful" and "unjust." A group of prominent lawyers in private practice as well as policy specialists at Brookings endorsed the joint statement.
