#1 What? No more ambulances to chase in New York?

#2 There's warrants out for half the families. But the big laugh is that they're doing this pro bono.

#3 Saudi families= deep pockets= ambulance chasers.

Raut defended their efforts to look after the detainees pointing out that they are not supporting terrorists but giving people the chance to challenge assumptions that they were terrorists because of their color of skin or origin.
Oh spot on, I'm sure our American Troops, Bushitler, and Condi are obsessed with skin color.
OTOH...Origin, they might be on to something there, weren't they sized in the Global fight against terror.
Manges?

#4 Mrs. Davis,
Pro Bono, the first visit may be "free".
Federal suits and fees will follow on, afterll they are attorneys.

#5 You would never hear of one of these slimebags defending a U.S. soldier, or a conservative activist for free. What the hell do these idiots want? To get them released? So they can go back and tell all the other dune loons what dumbfucks we are?

#6 Red the key is a good diet and frequent bathing and brushing. Altho, if you are of lawng haired variety you might consider the summer haircut.

#7 Saudis caught in Afghanistan...

Capt. Renault: “And what in heaven’s name brought you to Casablanca?”
Rick “My health. I came here for the waters.”
Renault: “Waters? What waters? We are in the middle of the desert.”
Rick “I was misinformed.”

#8 There's virtually no difference between Saudi terrorist and American lawyers, except that the Americans don't wear long robes or speak Arabic...yet.
(Wonder how many of the lawyers are the "sons of monkeys and pigs," i.e. Jews.)

#9 Probably not as many as there used to be, Jennie. Bright kids nowadays go for MDs, PhDs, or MBAs. The lawyers chase ambulances because there is too much competition for limited opportunities -- I remember hearing a good many years ago that most lawyers have about the same income as taxi drivers.

#10 I think the answer to why the lawyers do this for free, is it gets them publicity that money can't buy. At heart the problem is the MSM focusing on Gitmo trivialities and making out like they are real news.

#11 Regrettably, this is only the tip of the iceberg. This is a concerted effort that includes not only these lawyers, but lawyers from several other law firms. I believe lawyers from Clifford Chance (world's largest firm) are also involved although not cited here.
