DESCRIPTION:SHAME ON JOHN YOO! This Sunday and every Sunday, from 4-6pm, we will be 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 where he is licensed to practice law), and 
 prosecuted for war crimes. \nMap: http://maps. google.com/ maps?f=q&

 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. One of the groups, CODEPINK, has an "Arrest the War 
 Criminals" campaign on the its website at http://www.codepink alert.org/ 
 (scroll down). Because John Yoo lives in Berkeley, we have a great local 
 opportunity to confront a main architect of the torture program. Yoo 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*. \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: http://www.ocregist

 \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. Join 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. \nContact: cynthia_papermaster

 Nations 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
