#5 Lawyers and reporters have joined the Taliban as co-conspirators and declared themselves part of the enemy forces. Use the same tactics on them you'd use on the Taliban. Shooting a few dozen lawyers would not only clear up the situation, it would do wonders for morale. May I suggest including all the lawyers elected/appointed to public office, as well?

#12 Lawyers are not a new problem. In the 1500s Spanish explorations of the new world, they got so bad Ferdinand forbade them. They got through anyway.

#13 Hernan Cortez was a lawyer, and a very clever one.

His expedition was full of lawyers.
