DESCRIPTION:Join World Can't Wait to protest torture and demand that the war criminals 
 of the Bush-Cheney Torture Team be brought to justice!  Join us with signs, 
 orange jumpsuits, and our voices as Rotary Club lunch guests, golfers, and 
 others arrive for John Yoo's lecture.\n\nNOTE from the Rotary Club: "The 
 event is not open to the public, except for those who are guests of Rotary 
 members. For more information, go to: www.sanmateorotary.com"\n\nJohn Yoo 
 may be seen in many places these days, promoting his new book and being met 
 with protest everywhere: New York last month, Chicago tomorrow, Los Angeles 
 last week, the Bay Area whenever Yoo appears publicly.\n\nOne place Yoo is 
 NOT being seen this semester is at UC Berkeley Law, where the 
 administration is hoping to avoid political protest against a war criminal 
 teaching law, by hiding his classes.  As UC public relations and 
 administration voices keep repeating: "only students who have paid to take 
 his class" are allowed to know where it is.\n\nThink about this 
 contradiction:  SECRET classes to fend off exposure and protest - while at 
 the very same time, Yoo as POLITICAL CELEBRITY, shamelessly defending 
 torture on national TV (the Daily Show, Tavis Smiley, CNN . . .) and 
 speaking publicly, in person, to willing audiences (peppered with protests, 
 yet still willing!) several times a week all over the country?\n \nIs the 
 message coming across clearly? That people should just accept that torture 
 is part of the new norms they must live under?  In the words of the 
 president, "looking forward, not backward" and allowing the crimes against 
 humanity which we so hated under Bush to become permanent?\n\nIf you don't 
 accept this message, then you need to speak out, now!  If you can join 
 protest demonstrations like this Thursday's, you are welcome and your 
 presence is needed.  And you can do more.  Write letters to the editor.  
 Wear the orange ribbon and talk to everyone who asks, about the Torture 
 State and why it's wrong.  Show a film, pass out World Can't Wait 
 literature, talk about it on Facebook.  Get the debate over torture kicked 
 open at your school, in your community, through your congregation.\n\nDon't 
 let torture be defended (AND extended, as Obama is now doing) while you 
 stand by and watch in silence.  Join us.  And send your thoughts to World 
 Can't Wait about how to make this fight stronger, broader, and more 
 effective - we will write back to everyone.\n
