DESCRIPTION:This Sunday and every Sunday, from 4-6pm, CODEPINK and a coalition of 
 groups  is at John Yoo's house, 1241 Grizzly Peak Blvd, Berkeley, to say 
 SHAME ON YOO. We ask "torture lawyer" Yoo to apologize for his war crimes, 
 and we want him fired from his U.C. Berkeley Law School teaching post, 
 disbarred in Pennsylvania (the only state he where he is licensed to 
 practice law), and prosecuted for war crimes.\n\nMap:

 coalition of groups and individuals has been going to Yoo's house where 
 they hold banners and signs, pass out flyers, and chat with drivers, 
 bicyclists and folks walking by about Yoo. The response has been solidly 
 supportive or curious.\n\nCheck out CODEPINK's "Arrest the War Criminals" 
 campaign at http://www.codepinkalert.org/ (scroll down). \n\nBecause John 
 Yoo lives in Berkeley, we have a great local opportunity to confront a main 
 architect of the torture program.\n\nYoo has never uttered one word of 
 apology or remorse for the deaths and suffering of human beings tortured 
 due to his legal say-so. On the contrary, he continues to argue that it was 
 necessary to give the President power to break the law and torture 
 detainees to keep America safe. Yoo is wrong and he is complicit in 
 torture-- a felony and a war crime*.\n\nWatch this 3-minute video of a 
 debate at Chapman University, where Yoo taught last semester. The law 
 professors debating him demolish his ludicrous and immoral defense of 
 torture in short 
 order:\nhttp://www.ocregister.com/articles/interrogation-yoo-darmer-2371038-waterboarding-coercive\n\nWe 
 are getting to Yoo. After our first protest at his house he posted a 
 "Private Property-- No Trespassing Sign" in his driveway. He contacted the 
 U.C. Berkeley Police and subsequently U.C. detectives showed up at each 
 protester's house. Two of us met with the detectives and we explained that 
 ours is a legal, peaceful protest, that we don't plan to harm Yoo, and that 
 we're asking the proper authorities to do their job and hold him 
 accountable, including arresting and prosecuting him. Although the 
 right-wing blogosphere is calling us "vigilante stalkers" and saying that 
 if harm comes to Yoo we'll be blamed, we'll continue to be at his house 
 every Sunday.\n\nJoin us for an hour or two this Sunday and every Sunday. 
 It would be nice to have some music, so if you play the guitar, sing, or 
 have written a song about Yoo, please come up. The police are at John Yoo's 
 house too, keeping it safe and legal.\n\n* Yoo violated these laws:\nThe 
 United National Convention Against Torture (1964), The Geneva Conventions 
 (1955), The Constitution of the United States, Eighth Amendment against 
 “cruel and unusual punishment”, Title 18, United States Criminal Code, 
 section 2340A, Prohibitions Against Torture, and Title 18, United States 
 Criminal Code, section 2441, War Crimes.\n\n\n
