THE TORTURE ENABLER

John C. Yoo has been named the,"torture enabler." C. Yoo was one of the young guns on W. Bush's legal staff, which apparently included the entire Dept. of Justice. According to the recent release of the 2003 torture memo, C. Yoo wrote and W. Bush claimed his legal right to torture any "terrorist" he picked out. These two proved to the entire world that the American government was not only inept but was also thoroughly corrupt.

When Jonathan Turley, the outstanding Law Professor at George Washington University, discovered the John C. Yoohas a J.D. (Doctorate of Jurisprudence) Degree he said, "That makes me ashamed of my own J.D. Degree."

Like Jonathan Turley and John C. Yoo, I also have a J.D. degree. Mine is from the University of Arkansas Law School, and John C. Yoo has also made me ashamed of my law degree.

The saddest part of the story is that this same John C. Yoo is now a law professor at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, one of the truly great Law Schools in the country. What is John C. Yoo going to teach? Perhaps, "How to disgrace your country in three easy lessons."

I do believe that if I had graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law, I would be hiding my law degree in the back of my closet and would be tough to find if they came looking for a donation.

You have to wonder, "What were they thinking?" In Berkeley.
