DESCRIPTION:End the Silence -- Say NO! to Torture\n\nThe "cover your ass" legal 
 reasoning employed by the University of California to protect Berkeley Law 
 professor John Yoo from accountability for his criminal activity at the 
 Department of Justice during the Bush regime fails to silence repudiation 
 of the "enhanced interrogation" policies Yoo's work facilitated. And 
 discredits the process for application of the law school's own ethical 
 standards for teaching.\n\nSince protesting Yoo's "Torture Memos" at the 
 2004 Boalt Hall graduation, students have challenged the presence of a war 
 criminal on their faculty. Yet despite numerous letter and petition 
 campaigns to investigate professional misconduct, community vigils in 
 support of torture victims, even a City Council resolution to prosecute the 
 professor for war crimes, school administrators have not only refused to 
 investigate Yoo's performance but have actually promoted his discredited 
 work. \n\nWorld Can't Wait stands with Boalt Hall grads and all people of 
 conscience who say NO! to torture in their names.\n\n\nBerkeley Law
