DESCRIPTION:UC Berkeley Boalt Law professor John Yoo is speaking as part of a panel 
 discussion about "national security law."  John Yoo is the legal architect 
 of the Bush Regime's torture policies, the guy who wrote the legal memos 
 used to justify torture, the military commissions act, and the doctrine of 
 "the unitary power of the executive."  In other words, thanks to Yoo, if 
 George Bush declares someone to be an "enemy combatant," they can be taken 
 from their home in the middle of the night, thrown in some dungeon and 
 tortured, with no right to a lawyer, no habeus corpus.  This is not just a 
 question of legal memos, this is a question of the gruesome reality that 
 beurocrats pushing paper and professors sitting in offices help to 
 facillitate.  \n\nThis is what the National Lawyers Guild declared on April 
 9: "John Yoo should be disbarred and he should not be retained as a 
 professor of law at one of the country's premier law schools. John Yoo 
 should be dismissed from Boalt Hall and tried as a war criminal."  \n\nJoin 
 World Can't Wait and others Monday April 15 in protesting John Yoo's 
 presence at UC Berkeley.  Put on an orange jumpsuit to represent the 
 torture victim detainees in places like Guantanamo.  To be clear: this is a 
 silent protest.  We will not prevent John Yoo from speaking, and we do not 
 want to disrupt the other speakers, some of whom have spoken out powerfully 
 in defense of civil liberties.  \n
