DESCRIPTION:The organization WORLD CAN'T WAIT has announced it will bring a large 
 anti-torture protest demonstration to the 2009 graduation ceremonies at 
 UC's Berkeley Law (Boalt Hall), denouncing the continuing presence of 
 former Bush administration lawyer John Yoo on UC's tenured faculty.\n      
 \nWe call for John Yoo to be prosecuted for torture, as a war crime and a 
 crime against humanity. For details and a video of the powerful protest at 
 last year's graduation go to www.FireJohnYoo.org .\n\nTorture isnt just a 
 war crime. Torture is an abomination. And it's a crystallization of what 
 John Yoo stands for. It's disgusting and it's disgusting people have stood 
 for it for this long. It's time to stand up. \n\nThis year, we will 
 emphasize the shameless role of Boalt's Dean, Christopher Edley, who 
 continues to protect John Yoo against investigation and prosecution, while 
 he allows Yoo to teach and influence the future generation of lawyers and 
 judges.\n\nProtesters plan to be outside the Greek Theater as the 
 graduation processional approaches. They say their focus is to expose the 
 refusal of those in power to take responsibility for repudiating torture, 
 and for bringing the torturers to justice. Organizers anticipate that many 
 graduates and faculty members will express support for this message. \n\n
