DESCRIPTION:EVENT:    “TORTURE PROFESSOR” JOHN YOO TO BE KEYNOTE SPEAKER  AT 
 CALIFORNIA COLLEGE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE \n\nWHERE:    HYATT HOTEL at 
 Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco\n555 North Point Street (between Bay and 
 Beach)\n\nWHEN:     Saturday, April 25, 7:00 PM\n\nTonight (Saturday) the 
 World Can’t Wait and FireJohnYoo.org will join others to confront John 
 Yoo, one of the legal architects of U.S. torture policies, at the 
 California College Republican Conference.  This year John Yoo was 
 temporarily spirited away from Berkeley, to “teach” (hide out) in 
 Orange County at Chapman University – where he’s continued to be 
 surrounded by anti-torture protest actions (see http://FireJohnYoo.org for 
 great coverage of the news and the protests).  But he is headed back to UC 
 Berkeley Law School this fall – and TONIGHT he speaks before the state 
 conference of the College Republicans (yes, the same David Horowitz-Bill 
 O'Reilly-Marine Recruiters Fan Club who often counter-protest to defend 
 torture, war and empire).\n\nWhile the Obama administration just released 
 more “torture memos” – revealing even more how the torture was 
 justified and orchestrated, in horrendous detail, the world demands that 
 those responsible for these crimes must be prosecuted and brought to 
 justice.  Obama is doing all he can to avoid doing the right thing: 
 arresting and prosecuting the war criminals for torture, a crime against 
 humanity.  So this demand must even more loudly be raised by people of 
 conscience, and this is the demand we will voice, including everywhere the 
 war criminals go.\n\nPROTEST TONIGHT!  All are welcome.  You can join an 
 orange jumpsuit contingent.  You can carry signs bearing the message: 
 Torture is a War Crime / Prosecute the War Criminals / UC – Fire John 
 Yoo…Join us to tell the world why you refuse to live in a torture 
 state.\n\nGo to http://www.worldcantwait.org to learn more, and also go to 
 WarCriminalsWatch.org (a new project of World Can’t Wait):\n\n“Key 
 actors in the Bush administration must be held accountable and prosecuted 
 for the crimes they stand accused, in the eyes of world public opinion, of 
 having committed. Editorialists may demand action. Politicians will call 
 for it. But only an energized and politically active public can make those 
 prosecutions happen. They need to be publicly shamed and prevented from 
 occupying powerful or influential positions within our society. As in other 
 cases where authorities have gone beyond US and international law as well 
 as the laws of decency, only a public accounting will restore lawful 
 conduct.”\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/04/25/18591207.php
