John Yoo: Smarmy, Smug, Smack-worthy
See that smarmy, smug, grinning motherfucker in the photo above?
That’s John Yoo, torturer and law professor. And protestors want him fired:
Campus police arrested at least four people who refused to leave the university’s law school building.
The demonstrators said John Yoo should be dismissed, disbarred and prosecuted for war crimes for his work as a Bush administration attorney from 2001 to 2003, when he helped craft legal theories for waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.
Shouting “war criminal,” the protesters confronted Yoo as he entered a lecture hall on the first day of class at UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law, where the tenured professor is teaching a civil law course this semester.
Yoo mostly ignored the demonstrators and waited for police to remove them from the classroom before he began teaching. Several officers then stood outside the lecture hall to prevent protesters and journalists from entering.
And John Yoo just walks on smirking like the piece of shit he is, knowing that unless he travels to Europe, nothing’s going to happen to him. He’ll keep earning a fat salary at UCal Berkeley, enjoying tenure.
Personally, I don’t want him to be fired. I want someone to kidnap him rendition him to a basement somewhere and waterboard him. As long as it doesn’t rise to the level of serious injury or death, it’s not torture, and perfectly legal.
