US Justice Department lawyers are refusing to argue the governments cases against detainees at Guantanamo.
Writes Scott Horton on his blog at Harpers:
“Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. Under the Code of Professional Responsibility, there are certain circumstances when a lawyer is not ethically permitted to appear and advance arguments that a client wants him to make. One is when the client is appearing in court advancing claims of fact that the lawyer knows to be untrue.”
