Class Acts

Mark Steyn and Cliff May smear the integrity of lawyers representing Gitmo detainees pro bono. They have no proof of anything dubious about lawyers serving the cause of justice - just willful ignorance about the record at Gitmo and contempt for due process. Cliff May is supposed to be devoted to spreading democracy around the world. Why is he so eager to undermine basic features of constitutional democracy at home - like good legal representation for terror suspects? It seems to me that May should either substantiate his smears - about bribes or currying favor with foreign governments - or withdraw them. This kind of smear really is beneath him.
