Ciaron,
Thought you might be interested in this little side note. The UK Honorary Consul here in Minneapolis, to whom we will be delivering our letter in support of WikiLeaks and Assange, is a fellow named Bill McGrann. In 1989, he and three of his current partners were part of a group that left their prior law firm because it represented the government of El Salvador. This was right after the killling of the six priests and their two housekeepers. The Honorary Consul truly is an honorable man.

Law Firm Tied to Salvador Is Dropped by Minneapolis
AP
Published: December 16, 1989
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 15 — The City Council voted today to dismiss a law firm because it lobbies for President Alfredo Cristiani of El Salvador, a day after four partners and an associate lawyer resigned from the firm for the same reason.
''After individual and collective soul-searching, we decided that this was the best thing to do,'' said Douglas Franzen, one of the partners who resigned from O'Connor & Hannan on Thursday.
The Council voted, 10 to 2, to drop the law firm effective Jan. 15, ending a $500,000-a-year legal contract. After the slaying of six Jesuit priests in El Salvador last month, a group of protesters organized under the banner of the O'Connor & Hannan Campaign persuaded a majority of the Council to support a resolution co-sponsored by two Council members, Carol Johnson and Brian Coyle.
The other partners who quit are Douglas Carnival, Andrew Shea and William McGrann, whose office in Washington represents the Salvadoran leader. The associate lawyer who quit is Kathleen Lamb.
