Even some military lawyers will argue anything on behalf of their clients, including senior al Qaeda terrorists. From the Miami Herald:
Last year, Bahlul was sentenced to life in prison by a military commission. There were good reasons for the sentence. Bahlul once ran al Qaeda’s media wing, As Sahab, and reported directly to Osama bin Laden. In that role, Bahlul was responsible for creating the al Qaeda propaganda film commemorating the attack on the USS Cole. That film was used to recruit new al Qaeda fighters, who in turn attack civilians the world over. This is, according to Bahlul’s military defense lawyers (whom Bahlul has refused to work with), a constitutionally protected right and even non-citizens like Bahlul deserve to enjoy it. What do you think the founding fathers would have to say about that?
