Torture Not in Our Name
Thanks to all who stood in opposition to UC complicity in War Crimes
Saturday October 29th World Can't Wait San Francisco and friends took a stand against 'Torture Professor' John Yoo and his handlers at UC Berkeley Law School. "Today we represent the views and the hearts of many more tens of millions of people who know that torture is a war crime, and a crime against humanity. International and UN law both prohibit torture, under any and all circumstances, without exception," read the protest flier.
"Indict, Prosecute, Disbar... No More Torture in Our Name," chanted about 20 witnesses to university apologists for the lawless detention policy at Guantanamo prison camp and 'black sites' around the globe. John Yoo, a key player in the criminal enterprise of the Bush-now-Obama Regime, codified specific torture tactics used on wrongfully captured human beings, many of whom were sold to the U.S. government by bounty hunters.
Protest organizers staged a 'Boalt Hall Museum of Torture,' displaying the 10 'advanced interrogation techniques' approved for use by judge Jay Bybee, Yoo's boss during his stint at the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel.
John Yoo should be in prison, awaiting trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity; not mentoring the next generation of lawyers and judges. It is our responsibility to call out criminal and enabler alike.

CONVENTIONS OF WAR (1949):
UN Charter (1945)
Geneva conventions says 1) targeting and killing of civilians is a war crime, 2) torturing of killing of prisoners of war is a war crime,3) collective punishment is a war crime.
The United nations charter brought by the fighters against fascism-Nazis axis powers says that the Charter is formed to unite the world's nations a make war just a long distant memory for the coming generations. Also the UN resolutions forbid torture for any reasons--General Assembly and security council.
Nuremberg Trials: 1945-46 wrote into International Law that the planning and Doing of aggressive war is the supreme international crime on the planet Earth. The U.S. Judge Robert H. Jackson who chaired the N. Trials further said that aggressive war is the Supreme International Crime whether Germany does it or the U.S.A. does it.
All these laws are being violated and avoided by present countries in aggressive war such as Britain, U.S.A. France, and their allies in NATO. Their wars of aggression against Libya, Syria, are just such worst Supreme international crimes on the planet Earth. The worlds peoples are uniting to end fascism and aggressive war and make justice ring out against all who participate in torture at any time. You yet have a world to win!! Workers of the world unite!!
