In a follow up to a posting from January 17, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detaine Affairs--Cully Stimson, has resigned. He became noteworthy for remarking in a radio interview that people should not do business with law firms that employed individuals who were representing terrorist suspects. He later recanted his statement, but it was not enough to save him his job.
Questions still remain regarding why he said what he did. Though there have been recent signs of cracking, the Bush White House has been remarkably disciplined. Did he say what he said because they were his beliefs or what he told to make the statement. If its the later--is he now being hung out to dry to deflect blame from the administration.
This type of activity is not unheard of.
