Pentagon official resigns over detainee remarks.

Charles ”Cully” Stimson, the Pentagon’s top official on detainee affairs, “resigned Friday over controversial remarks in which he criticized lawyers who represent terrorism suspects.” In a radio interview last month, Stimson said he found it shocking that lawyers at many of the nation’s top law firms represent detainees at Guantanamo, and that companies “might want to consider taking their legal business to other firms that do not represent suspected terrorists.”
