Defense Lawyers Refuse to Work Under Guantanamo Rules

The Rocky Mountain News has a full page article today on defense lawyers balking at the rules the Administration has proposed for military tribunals. A few weeks ago, when the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers ( NACDL) was in Denver for its annual meeting, we were one of five NACDL leaders who went to the Rocky Mountain News offices to meet with its Editorial Board. The paper recorded the meeting and now has printed much of the transcript, along with photos (only our's appears in the online version, but the print version has a picture of outgoing NACDL President Larry Goldman as well.)

We're thrilled to see the issue get such detailed coverage. We hope you'll give it a read. Major thanks to Vincent Carroll, Editor of the Rocky Mountain News editorial pages, for allowing NACDL to express its opinion and for publishing our views. And to NACDL Media Affairs Director Dan Dodson who arranged the meeting.
