      Yoo is an embarrassment to his profession and I am embarrassed that he's teaching in my state.

        Just because John Woo will never win a popularity contest due to his corrupt collaboration with the Bush crime family doesn't mean Obama even wants to play his little game. Another Fox loser.

          I worry that John Yoo once came "this" close to convincing Bush that terror suspects should have been burned at the stake on the Washington Mall.

      I worry that a war criminal such as John Yoo is allowed to teach law at an American university, but hey, no one asked me.

      I worry that John Yoo will be appointed Attorney General by President Palin in 2013.

      How self-serving of Yoo,
      who's legal memorandum gave the OK for "enhanced interrogation"
      to criticize a judge who applied the law
      resulting in information garnered by "enhanced interrogation" being disallowed.

      conservatives keep spreading lies about the obama administration because, they have worked every time. this white house is impotent at forming a coherent message, and they lose the narrative on every major piece of legislation. i will guarantee that, by the end of this lame duck session, there will be no repeal of DADT, there will be no dream act, no extension of unemployment insurance, and no vote on taxes. how long do we have to wait for this white house to get their act together? 2 years, and all we have to show is watered down health care legislation, watered down wall street legislation, and a stimulus that wasn't big enough. maybe it is time to look elsewhere.

      I also worry, but my worry is that John Yoo is still among us spreading his distorted views about the fabric of this country. He is the one who should be facing charges right now, and, frankly, I wouldn't care whether he was prosecuted in civilian courts or in front of a military tribunal.

      You know, Yoo, the reason that so many of the charges were dropped on this guy is because YOU told the President it was okey-dokey to torture people.
