Politico (linked here to Yahoo) carries a story today on a letter drafted by Benjamin Wittes and signed by a number of conservative and centrists lawyers, former Bush administration officials, and policy analysts on conservative attacks on the role of lawyers in terrorism cases – the so-called Al Qaeda 7 at the Justice Department. I’m one of the signers, but there are many more important and prominent signers, including John Bellinger, Matthew Waxman, David Rivkin and Lee Casey. It will almost certainly gain more signatures as the week goes on, and my thanks to Ben for putting it together.
