The National Lawyers Guild has called on the UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) to dismiss professor John Yoo, author of the infamous Department of Justice legal memoranda justifying the United States' use oftorture on various detainees.

"John Yoo's complicity in establishing the policy that led to the tortureof prisoners constitutes a war crime under the US War Crimes Act," said Guild President Marjorie Cohn.

Join The World Can’t Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime! and a coalition ofconcerned members of Act Against Torture, the American Psychological Association, Code Pink, the National Lawyers Guild, professors, and activists in a forum on how to uproot the US torture system enabled by John Yoo. A good start would be firing, disbarring, and prosecuting this war criminal.

§It boggles the mind - sorry, but where have the Berkeley students been?

Thank you Unitarian Universalists for putting this out there. I don't live in Berkeley so I don't know what the communities temperature as been on this issue for the last few years. After all, we've known about John Yoo's role in developing pResident Cheney's and puppet Bush's torture program for several years. I've been watching Berkeley since this broke years ago, to see what the outcry would be from the students. Maybe I wasn't reading the right websites, but I sure didn't see much. It's nice to see that the Unitarians are on this now and hopefully, the first step of being fired is soon to follow, leading to Yoo being tried and convicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity along with his co-conspirators.
