Bar to Investigate Pentagon Big Mouth

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

The Bar Association of San Francisco said Thursday that it wants state attorney discipline investigators to decide whether a Bush administration official, who is also a California lawyer, violated ethical standards by calling for a business boycott of law firms representing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay….

The San Francisco lawyers’ group said its directors voted Wednesday to authorize the filing of a request for investigation with the State Bar of California. If the bar found that Stimson broke rules governing attorney conduct, it could impose penalties ranging from a reprimand to disbarment.

Apparently deputy defense secretary for detainee affairs Charles Stimson’s apology just wasn’t enough.
