The Torture Investigation
Just to mark this day … Looks like Justice’s investigation on government lawyers who wrote the torture memos will conclude soon. The leaked report recommended “professional sanction” against John Yoo and his boss Bybee.
The AP reported that an early version of the draft recommended that the California State Bar Association seek the disbarment of Yoo, now a Berkeley law professor, and Bybee, an appellate judge. A Justice Department official said that the final decision had not been made.
It will be supremely disappointing if Yoo is not disbarred.
As a loyal alum of UC Berkeley, I feel sad that Berkeley hired a criminal like John Yoo as a member of its faculty. This guy should be put into jail, in my opinion.
