Peach, I haven't read the entire thread and may be repeating information you have already posted. The source of the statement you mentioned is at Rush's site.

A DEADLY KINDNESS At Gitmo, PC Rules Let Qaedas Plot On New York Post by Richard Miniter 9-15-06

Excerpt:
Other cells pass messages from leaders in one camp to followers in others. How? Detainees use the envelopes sent to them by their attorneys to pass messages. (Some 1,000 lawyers represent 440 prisoners, all on a pro bono basis, with more than 18,500 letters in and out of Gitmo in the past year.) Guards are not allowed to look inside these envelopes because of "attorney-client privilege" - even if they know the document inside is an Arabic-language note written by a prisoner to another prisoner and not a letter to or from a lawyer.
That's right: Accidentally or not, American lawyers are helping al Qaeda prisoners continue to plot.
