I'd like to state that as a person with personal experience in Guantanamo Bay who currently now lives and works in the Middle East I find the behavior of this defense attorney absolutely appalling. (Note: the offending act was also reported on in the May 13 edition of the Stars and Stripes, pg 21) If you had caught me an hour ago this would have been nothing but a string of obscenities approximately the length of your leg detailing all of the awful things I wish would happen to this horribly confused, irreparably politically correct person.
Instead, I'll briefly summarize my thoughts. I have walked into mosques with my ankles hanging out and probably a little cleavage (but my head was covered) and I have had the pleasure to work with a number of incredibly devout Muslims. None of them. NOT A SINGLE ONE has ever accused me of being disrespectful or has requested that I dress differently for the sake of their religion. You want to know why? Because they respect me too. As soon as those heinous, evil, soulless men begin to respect the other people in that courtroom instead of silently wishing they could find a way to kill them all... then those people should begin to be concerned with that they're wearing around the detainees.
In the mean time, please feel free to go screw yourself into oblivion you horrible, awful American. That is all.
