		<description>YOO REALIZES THE ENEMY &amp; IT&#039;S POTENTIAL!!!
You pansies don&#039;t... they just assume kill you &#039;infidels&#039;. When u are all saying &quot;Allah is the one&quot; even if you don&#039;t truly believe it then remember to eat your words that most of u typed here! Torture is for al Qaeda members not the innocent civilians.

Watch a documentation called OBSESSION &amp; perhaps one will realize how barbaric, focused, trained, disiplined &amp; mentally much stronger than you all. We need torture techniques because this is all they understand.

GANGS (al Qaeda) ACHIEVE A LOT OF POWER THROUGH VIOLENCE &amp; intimidation.</description>

		<description>The S&amp;M aspect of the bush crime family is just another link between them and their NAZI origins.

IMO, races of color and citizens of third world countries have many legitimate complaints about blue-eyed Westerners who have been exploiting them and their countries for far too long. And this is coming from a blue-eyed Caucasian; I just hadn&#039;t realized how badly things were, because I grew up under the propaganda that left out the negative aspects of U.S. foreign policy from the history books.

Even so, when it comes down to one-on-one interactions between individual citizens from the U.S. and foreign nations, most of those interactions would be amicable and even friendly, unless the U.S. participant happened to be a member of the ruling class enforcing corporate policy - then all bets are off. And historically, the U.S. military has always been used to enforce policies that benefitted American corporations.

As for john yoo, it&#039;s easy to take a lesson. Go rent a copy of the Spencer Tracy movie &quot;Judgment At Nuermberg.&quot; Skip to the scene where Tracy proclaims his judgment of the German judge played by Burt Lancaster. For in the drama we have just lived through, john yoo is surely playing the role Lancaster did in that movie.

Lancaster&#039;s excuse was that by going along with the political dictates of the NAZI regime, he would be in a position to play advocate for individuals who got caught up in the feeding frenzy of mob psychology fostered by the NAZI&#039;s. john yoo&#039;s excuse seems to be that it&#039;s needful to ignore the Constitution in order to &quot;protect the citizens&quot; of the U.S.

I have still to come across the wording in the Constitution that says public safety trumps the rights of each and every human being who falls within the jurisdiction of the U.S. government, its agencies and officers. The Constitution does not specify that the Bill of Rights applies only to U.S. Citizens. In practice, when our government cares to abide by the rule of law, it often works out that way, because the U.S. government can only enforce its policies on Citizens and Residents of U.S. territority.

Every person who is given authority to act on behalf of the U.S. government takes an oath to uphold, first and foremost, the Constitution. Once that portion of the oath is broken, the rest doesn&#039;t matter, because the officer has become a renegade and no longer retains the authority. When any federal office-holder violates their oath, the only rightful course of action is impeachment and removal from office. When a U.S. soldier violates the oath they take upon induction into the armed forces, they are subject to the UCMJ.

By writing his opinions, yoo became a traitor to the U.S., by virtue of his attempt to subvert the Constitution and supplant it with another set of rules devised to enable the illegal policies contemplated by the administration. We can only surmise the payoff yoo received for vomitting out his crackpot theories. But we can offer judgment based on his words, that he fails to comprehend American morals, values, and traditions, and that he does not understand Constitutional law.

The faculty and students at the University of Berkeley protested yoo&#039;s return to teaching once he left Washington D.C. The Board of Governors and the administration at the School of Law refused to heed their concerns. They chose to hide behind the concept of &quot;free speech,&quot; which they declared yoo&#039;s opinions delivered when he was on leave of absence from the University to have been. But then, the Board of Governors does not represent the People of the State of California. They usually hold to a hard-line conservative point of view.

I did hear that the Bar Association was attempting to do something about pulling his membership. But I don&#039;t know where that stands.

Personally, I believe he and the rest of the bush administration needs to take up residence at Guantanamo Bay once the inmates presently detained there illegally have been freed.</description>

		<description>Let us listen, to see if we can really hear what YOO and the other torturers are REALLY saying.
&lt;em&gt;&quot;Eliminating the Bush system will mean that we will get no more information from captured al Qaeda terrorists. Every prisoner will have the right to a lawyer (which they will surely demand), the right to remain silent, and the right to a speedy trial.&lt;/em&gt;

They are saying they think the American system of Jursice Prudence sucks. They are ANTI-AMERICANS. How much more clear does it have to be laid out for all to hear how these criminals are truly TRAITORS. 
How can you not hear that??? I am lost here. They are more than traitors, they are the enemy from within our forefathers warned us about. 
They MUST be hung for all Americans to see. Enmasse or individually, it doesn&#039;t matter, but bring them to justice, they way they HATE IT. With &lt;em&gt;&quot;the right to a lawyer (which they will surely demand), the right to remain silent, and the right to a speedy trial.&quot; &lt;/em&gt;
YES, YES, YES, DO IT NOW!!!!!</description>

		<description>French Hugenauts were hung by the thousands because Catholics decided all people who were not Catholic were heretics.  Protestants are their progeny.  Burning and lynching Protestants did not change their values, but it did have an impact.

Our founding fathers were among their progeny and recognized inalienable human rights, including the right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and to a trial by a jury of your peers.

Mr. Yoo, you may have a law degree, but do you have the least conception of the spirit of the law?  I don&#039;t think you do.

Protestants did bad things to Catholics too.  

But to Gitmo . . . some bad guys? Definitely.  But was every inmate detained based upon probable cause, or were some arrested because they looked Iraqi, had guns and practiced Islam?  It&#039;s a war and so time is crucial and mistakes are expected, but, only a trial, not torture, will tell.</description>

		<description>Robt,

Honestly, I raised holy hell at SMU, the Administration, Theology School and Law School to oppose Bush&#039;s grand design to put a &quot;Think Tank&quot;, Presidential Library and Museum on campus.  It&#039;s a Methodist University . . . he has committed crimes against humanity . . . and so on.  Yes, the Methodist Church is up in arms about it but basically, I was told, Too Bad.

Alums have returned their diplomas and expressed outrage.  

Torture is abhorrant and is not being tolerated well, so don&#039;t think that outrage isn&#039;t being expressed, it simply isn&#039;t being acknowledged.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not suicidal or particularly brave, but I&#039;d take my chances with death before I&#039;d turn to Yoo to protect my freedom.

		<description>Torture is Mr. Yoo&#039;s forte.

Reading all of your entries is heart-breaking.

But torture is what Mr. Yoo is all about and all he&#039;ll ever be about.  How sad for his family. Friends, I can&#039;t imagine he has any.  He&#039;s a twisted creep that no one would want to associate with. . .  a little TLC in Crawford? Bush has disowned you.  Creepy dude, angry because no one likes him, wants to hurt humanity.  

Torture. Don&#039;t give the guy a gun. What a sick disturbed life.  Unimaginable.

Mr. Yoo, when you are in the pen for crimes against humanity, think Jeffery Dahmer.  He wasn&#039;t too popular either.</description>

		<description>This is a disgusting display of a man that portrays himself actually doing something so reprehensibly immoral, that he considers himself qualified to cast his ideological absolutes on the rest of Americans as if we are somehow lesser.  

As a Republican, I did not hear John Yoo use &quot;toture in the name of God and religion&quot;.

Matter of fact,  has anyone heard any of the Religious rights leadership(s) encouraging torture in the name of their Lord?

Are they leaving their moral compass (God) out of the torture embracing and self justifications?  

Didn&#039;t they torture Jesus?

What info did Jesus provide?  Did torture work on him?

Why didn&#039;t they torture Saddam ?

There is a maddness to republican methodology which needs treatment for which there are no tretment facilities nor curing procedures to undertake.  Rush has tried self medicating his condition with Oxicodone and viagra to no avail.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;those who had been brain-washed into believing that all blue-eyed Westerners are devils and enemies.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you are truthful you have to admit people of color have a legitimate problem with chimpy and his gang and the 25%ers. They have just cause.

This is why I know that President Obama will right the wrongs. He will handle his vision while his cabinet will handle the past corruption.

The torture is the straw. It&#039;s bigger than anyone thought.</description>

		<description>Why do these people keep pretending like there&#039;s never been any successful interrogation without torture?  There are probably of thousands of investigators all over the country who are getting information from suspects right now without using torture.</description>

Daer John Yoo,
Thank you for showing America that all it takes to usurp the Rule of Law is an &quot;eager to please&quot; attorney to give his &quot;OPINION&quot; as to why breaking the law is legal. We should all learn from your great and shining example, that all it takes to become a career criminal is a note from my attorney that says that breaking the law when it suits me, is legal.

Thank You, 
America.

		<description>The Republic of Stupidity Says:

&lt;em&gt;kuvasz Says:

it was my understanding from the comments of the actual persons who did the torturing that the information gained from torturing that the information was of no value.
____________

This disturbing little factoid has been mentioned repeatedly, and ignored repeatedly by the proponents of torture, which makes me wonder if they’re not, huh, “motivated” by something other than security issues.&lt;/em&gt;

Now, now; temper, temper. How could you POSSIBLY think that ANY dedicated &quot;patriot&quot; would be motivated by ANYTHING other than Mom, apple pie, and the GOP?????????????????</description>
