Do you recall the uproar
over Ward Churchill, former professor at the University of Colorado, and his essay about Sept. 11, "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens"? He said in that essay that the US bears much of the responsibility for the attacks because of our policies throughout the world. The hysteria these views engendered from the right were everywhere, even my 90 year old uncle in southern California vilified Churchill and called for his head. Churchill's writings and record were dissected until they found enough dirt and dubious dealings to justify his firing.
Here's hoping that John Yoo will come under similar scrutiny.
