Did Holder stiff Senate on Justice Dept. lawyers who defended jihadis? | Washington Examiner

How much worse can it get? This much.

Some Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee were taken aback Wednesday by Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to reveal conflicts of interest involving Justice Department lawyers who, before joining the Obama administration, worked on behalf of Guatanamo detainees.

One reason it has taken so long to deal with the Guantanamo cases is the number of legal challenges lodged by lawyers for the detainees, some of whom are now working on detainee matters in the Obama Justice Department.

Some Republicans? You mean, Democrats were not taken aback?
