As I noted earlier, John Yoo played a starring role in the new IG report (pdf) on the Bush administration’s surveillance program (PSP). And it wasn’t a flattering one.
Yoo’s actions were dishonest and inappropriate on so many different levels that I’m going to try to break them up into three categories: (1) procedural abuses; (2) legal inaccuracies; and (3) factual inaccuracies.
The details are summarized pretty quickly and convincingly. John Yoo conspired with other top malefactors in the Bush Administration to violate all Americans' civil liberties and then lied to cover it up. He should be standing trial.
Yet that same John Yoo is a professor at a respected law school and is paid to write occasional columns for my once-great local newspaper.
he's also a member of the PA bar. he really should be disbarred.
