Yesterday, I posted about Holder's representation of Chiquita so I feel somewhat responsible for starting this brouhaha regarding the ethical obligation of an attorney to represent a client.
Today, given your arguments, my opinion has seemed to evolve into one in which the question isn't whether he (Holder) represented Chiquita to the question of HOW he represented them.
If Holder's representation of Chiquita was based upon the law(s) of the country involved, I don't have a problem with that. However, if Holder used his past associations with high ranking US or foreign government officials to secure a settlement favorable to Chiquita, I believe that's a horse of a different color.
Is there any information available which would shed some light on this aspect of the issue?
