Speaking of the vile media, The Berkeley Daily Planet published this:
Last week the Grizzly Peak neighbors of John Yoo received a “Neighborhood Alert” regarding Professor Yoo, in the form of a flyer letting them know he lives among them and providing information about his crimes, namely providing unethical and shoddy legal advice and cover to Bybee, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc. for illegal interrogation methods and the inhumane, degrading treatment of detainees—“unethical” because Yoo advocates breaking the law and “shoddy” because the memos were so ineptly crafted that they were repudiated and rescinded.
I question the acceptability of sheltering a war criminal in Berkeley. I don’t feel safe living in the vicinity of someone who believes torture is legal. Furthermore, Yoo has made all of our lives even more unsafe by inflaming hatred worldwide against our country and endangering American lives everywhere. I resent Yoo immensely for making me feel so ashamed of what has been done in my name. He has robbed me of my pride in my country and alma mater. Shame on UC! I won’t give another penny to the university as long as Yoo works there, but I’d write a check immediately to help buy out Yoo’s contract.
Zombie writes: These freelance protesters have decided on their own that Professor John Yoo is guilty of a crime and needs to be punished. No longer content to let the courts decide whether he is even to be charged with anything, much less found guilty, much less determine the punishment, the anti-Yoo protesters have decided to stalk him at home, menacing him and making sure that “John Yoo is going to have problems living a normal life now.”
Professor Yoo's address was published on a San Francisco website along with instructions about how and what to protest at his Berkeley home.
Professor Yoo is being targeted at his private home, for professional reasons, and called a war criminal. The Berkeley Daily Planet explains his "war crimes:" Contrary to Yoo’s frequent public assertions that he was helping to prevent another attack after 9/11, evidence shows that detainees such as Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi were tortured to get intelligence linking al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein in order to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq. A bipartisan report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence found that al-Libi “lied [about the Iraq link] to avoid torture.” Thus Yoo directly helped Cheney and Bush make the false claims that lead us into the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, which in turn has lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries, displaced populations, and cost billions of dollars we could have spent instead on health care, environmental protection, education, and infrastructure.
The Berkelely resident and writer of the inflammatory story in the Berkeley newspaper, Cynthia Papermaster, also had this to say: A number of groups, including students, alumni, professors and staff, are working to have him fired from UC. Dean Edley of the law school should ask Yoo to leave now. Yoo doesn’t have to be convicted or disbarred first. Also there’s a national campaign calling for Yoo to be fired by the Philadelphia Inquirer (see firejohnyoo.org). Maybe she'd like her job threatened and her home stalked by loonatics, who terrify her children and spouse, just because they disagree with how she earns a living.
