Yes, John Yoo, former and typical Bush "Justice" Department operative,
a "lawyer" who in 2003 wrote a soon-to-be-very notorious MEMORANDUM
-- which your Nincompoop-In-Chief and Donnie Rummy used to justify
TORTURE of U.S. captives. Much to the detriment of the honor,
respect, and moral leadership once-accorded the formerly UNITED States
of America.
And for all we know, it's probably still the "law" of the Bushies.
Among the memo's flip and glib statements authored by Yoo:
"Interrogators who harmed a prisoner would be protected by a 'national
and international version of the right to self-defense.' "
A definition of illegal conduct in interrogations: " ... it must
"shock the conscience. Whether conduct is conscience-shocking turns in
part on whether it is without any justification." Yoo explained that
it would have to be inspired by malice or sadism before it could be
prosecuted.
Does this sound like a WAR CRIMINAL to you?
Do these 'official' remarks "shock YOUR conscience?"
(And NO, the memo is NOT the work of Joe Goebbels. At least not the
direct work of the late Joe G.)
