Lawful Evil

Should Stephen Glass be a lawyer? Natasha Lennard argues that he's no worse than most:

The [legal profession] is littered with self-interested careerists willing to put themselves above all else. But here’s the difference between a Glass and, say, a John Yoo. The latter used the letter of law to enable evil. Glass went against the rules of his profession. The law makes room for evil before it will make room for rebels.
