Defense lawyer drops his pants to demonstrate his clients’ mistreatment at Guantánamo Bay.
David H. Remes, an American lawyer representing 15 Yemenis currently challenging their detention at Guantánamo Bay, recently made his seventh trip to Yemen to meet with his clients’ families and “to do what I can to promote the cause of these men.” During a recent press conference in Yemen, Remes promoted their cause by “demonstrating the mistreatment” and humiliation suffered by his clients at the U.S. detention facility in Cuba:

Way to take the focus off your clients, and put it on yourself, dingleberry.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:23 pmThe counselor was merely presenting his briefs to the court.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:26 pmNah, Dr. Matt – he’s too old.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:27 pmZooey,
I disagree. Outrageous stunts like this are probably the only way to get the media to pay ANY attention to his clients. Without this dumb stunt, there is no way his client’s cause would have even made the news cycle.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:33 pmOK, I really didn’t need to see that.

July 14th, 2008 at 5:35 pmTP,
Are you sure the last name isn’t spelled “Reems”? ;>)
Hollster that weapon, counselor!

I hope you’re right, deebaser. Things don’t always go the way these attorneys plan.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:39 pmAgree with all the above… lol… especially
Dr. Hussein Matt Says:
He’s going to be receiving calls from about a dozen different GOP senators tonight.
And Paul W- my thoughts exactly.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:43 pmHe wants to see evidence of mistreatment? I’ll show him my scars from last month’s crise of the Meds in the Medicare Motel. The guys in Gitmo get better treatment than I did at a local hospital. I guess they were protesting the rate reduction that didn’t pass. The only “high” point of the trip, pun intended, was the overdose of morphine. I had more hallilucinations in two days than a VW van load of 60’s Hippies on their way to Woodstock!

July 14th, 2008 at 5:56 pmThat’s a pic that only his proctologist and wife should be privy to ; hope he wipes well , for the sake of those tighty whities……….
July 14th, 2008 at 5:57 pmStripping for liberty. Let’s hope it doesn’t catch on. Seems the guy likes beer, though.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:01 pmNice package :)

His wife is a very lucky girl :)~
July 14th, 2008 at 6:09 pmI’m sure his mother is happy he wore his clean tighty whities today.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:18 pmZooey beat me to it…tighty whities…hehe
July 14th, 2008 at 6:19 pmOK. That’s not an image that I want in my head.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:31 pmPut a sock in it counceler, oop’s sorry, look’s like he did….Blessings
July 14th, 2008 at 6:39 pmSome crunches and about 1000 miles of jogging should get rid of that gut. I mean…Damn!

Er, I don’t think his mission was accomplished. Look closely at the blow up picture in the link. Closer…closer…there, right in the bulge—a pee dribble stain.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:02 pmDoes spankin’ the monkey count as torture at Gitmo?
July 14th, 2008 at 7:14 pmGood god man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What man over the age of 30 still wears tightie-whities?????
July 14th, 2008 at 8:05 pmI thought I was just drunk, but now I know, that in college, I often promoted human rights by dropping trou.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:20 pmI seriously rather you be waterboarded, too. jk
July 14th, 2008 at 9:15 pmMr. Remes should consider our mistreatment when we endure his ‘package check’.
If detainees suffered humiliation at Gitmo, I doubt it looked anything like this.
The Yemenis probably have a valid complaint at Gitmo, but Remes makes it look like a frat party I’d hate to miss.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:37 pmI’m stunned – He looks like a boxers kind of guy.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:32 pmAt least he did not need a cod piece!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:54 pmOkay… If I’m in Guantanamo, and this guy is my lawyer, I’m thinking that I’ll never see my family again.
