John Yoo is the former DOJ Office of Legal Counsel lawyer who wrote unethical and shoddy legal opinions saying that "enhanced interrogation techniques" were legal, contrary to U.S. and international law.
CODEPINK Golden Gate and Act Against Torture went up to John Yoo's house today in the Berkeley Hills. We unfurled a bright pink banner and got our flyers ready for anyone who might be curious about why we were standing in this unlikely place for a protest. Grizzly Peak Blvd. is a main thoroughfare through the Berkeley Hills, there's no sidewalk directly in front of Yoo's house, and the traffic goes whizzing by, but we made a colorful contrast to the grey day and quite a few people gave us a "thumbs up", honked, stopped and rolled down car windows for a flyer and to chat, or stopped while walking or biking to give us encouragement. There was no sign of Yoo or his wife Elsa.
We decided to return in June and July, and in August we'll welcome Yoo back to UC and pay a visit to Law School Dean Edley to request Yoo's dismissal.
