Justice Department
Charles ''Cully'' Stimson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, has resigned for his stupid, un-American and possibly unethical remarks during a radio interview in which he said he found it shocking that lawyers at many of the nation's top law firms represent detainees held at the U.S. military prison in Cuba..
The Bar Association of San Francisco has requested that the California State Bar investigate whether Stimson violated legal ethics by suggesting a boycott of law firms representing detainees.

The only thing not altogether satisfactory about this result is that Stimson wasn't fired outright immediately.

Good riddance and all that.
