    What troubles me more.

    What troubles me more is that John Yoo is a professor at a law school and not the fake, bottom rung 'christian' law school that hatched so many authoritarian freaks in the Bush justice department (unless I don't remember clearly).

    What kind of lesson can students learn from such a stilted and bizarre man that would use smantecs and obfuscation to build and sustain a case. Especially when everyone knows that it's completely false.

    Yoo is damaged goods and anything he touches should be suspect.

    To emply him in the education of other attorneys is just wrong.
