Did you say, "Don't fellate what I was saying with Sam's aunt's kids"?

It would be highly useful to document the sources for these statements, to be used as a hammer when confronting right-wing FauxNews™ fools.

Sharing with friends = preaching to the choir.

I'm interested in bludgeoning the McCain followers.

Yes, and it's accurately pictured (left-handed and all).

Yeah, he's a nut job. But by inference Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rice... geez, there's no end to it.. they're ALL nut jobs.
If you're a neoCon, you are by definition a nut job.
Pipes writes for the Jerusalem Post, and he's a bigshot at the Hoover Institution.

I wonder if it doesn't really matter who the GOP nominates. Daniel Pipes says that if Obama wins the election, Bush will attack Iran in November. And all the current administration needs is some counter-attack -- either by surprise or "look the other way" with a wink to the 9-11 truthers -- and Bush will declare Martial Law. You know he's got enough signing statements and executive orders to make such a move by mere whim.

Yesterday I sent this email to sgluss@law.berkeley.edu,
registrar@law.berkeley.edu, LLM@law.berkeley.edu,
jsp@uclink4.berkeley.edu, bccj@law.berkeley.edu, and cc'd GGreenwald@salon.com, since much of this info came from him:

To the Berkeley Law School:

The ACLU has now successfully prosecuted a FOIA lawsuit to release documents regarding President Bush's so-called "war powers". These documents show John Yoo's involvement in putting forth the view that the President has authority to override international law, and to use torture at his discretion. Thus, it is now public knowledge that John Yoo is a war criminal, as even a casual reading of someone as conservative as Justice Thomas demonstrates (2006 case of Hamden):
"[T]he experience of our wars," Winthrop 839, is rife with evidence that establishes beyond any doubt that conspiracy to violate the laws of war is itself an offense cognizable before a law-of-war military commission. . . . . In [World War II], the orders establishing the jurisdiction of military commissions in various theaters of operation provided that conspiracy to violate the laws of war was a cognizable offense. See Letter, General Headquarters, United States Army Forces, Pacific (Sept. 24, 1945), Record in Yamashita v. Styer, O. T. 1945, No. 672, pp. 14, 16 (Exh. F) (Order respecting the "Regulations Governing the Trial of War Criminals" provided that "participation in a common plan or conspiracy to accomplish" various offenses against the law of war was cognizable before military commissions)."
John Yoo may not have waterboarded anyone personally, but he conspired with other government officials to create the environment where waterboarding and other torture would be used, in direct violation of U.S. and international law.

Please terminate this war criminal's position at Berkeley.

PS: if you don't have the funds, I'm sure we can scrape together whatever cash you need to send Mr. Yoo to the Hague.

Today, now that I have the Dean's email address (edley@law.berkeley.edu), I've forwarded the same message to him. It would be very nice if the good dean's office was flooded with emails and snail mail, demanding Yoo's departure.
