Professor John Yoo & Pvt. Lyndie England.
"That John Yoo is a full professor at one of the country's most prestigious law schools, and a welcomed expert on our newspaper's Op-Ed pages and television news programs, speaks volumes about what our country has become. We sure did take care of that despicable Pvt. Lyndie England, though, because we don't tolerate barbaric conduct of the type in which she engaged completely on her own."...http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/04/02/yoo/index.html

1. Yoo was central to the * administration's shredding of the Constitution and expansion of exec power.
John Yoo's extensive memos and legal interpretations are also THE reason why Bush and Cheney would be damned near impossible to impeach. Time and again, Yoo provided the legal language to do whatever it was they desired to do, no matter how clearly their actions were contrary to the law of this country.

4. So....all you can say is that Greenwald can't turn out 'succinct writing?'
He's talking about TORTURE! You get it?

7. He's a prig, but occasionally he nails it
But reading his "blog" is always tedious. He needs an editor. His democrat-bashing was the main reason I quit paying Salon.com $35/year.

I think he used to distribute his writing for free before Salon, but I don't know.

5. John Yoo should be disbarred and his academic credentials removed.
He has crossed the line into unethical conduct.

Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 12:29 PM by SpiralHawk
Soldier goes crazy and behaves cruely and inhumanely in response to the MADNESS initiated by the republicon chickenhawk Commandershipand becomes convenient republicon scapegoat, while the "elite" chickehawk republicon homelander lawyer who made it all seem "legal" goes skipping merrily down the lane pocketing the fat chuck of payola he got for promulgating evil republicon moral relativism.
