DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Law Shelters a War Criminal\n\nMany people recognize the name of 
 John Yoo, but are surprised to hear that he retains a teaching position at 
 the University of California Berkeley. Despite repudiation by peers, and 
 rejection of his work at the Office of Legal Counsel by the same (Bush) 
 regime that hired him to legalize the unconscionable, Yoo continues to be 
 given credence as an authority on a variety of issues including, 
 presumptively, Korean legal practice.\n\nJohn Yoo represents a dangerous 
 philosophy of exceptionalism, that American lives are worth more than other 
 people's. We challenge his promotion to head the Korea Law Center and 
 endowment of the Emanuel S. Heller Professorship. The latter outrage is 
 being challenged by an online petition to rescind the appointment.\n\nWorld 
 Can't Wait and friends have been present at graduation every year since 
 2006, to denounce the presence of a torturer on the law school faculty, and 
 the silence of UC from the top down. We urge you to join us this year to 
 applaud the accomplishment of our new graduates, and to demand application 
 of ethical standards administrators choose to ignore.\n\nBerkeley Law Dean 
 Sujit Choudhry has the opportunity to repudiate the "Unitary Executive" 
 theory, espoused by his resident torture advocate, that legitimizes 
 President Obama's worst over-reach: the immoral practice of targeted 
 assassination. Choudry could use his new position to promote practice of 
 law in the interests of humanity. Will he?\n\nJoin graduates, their 
 families, Boalt Hall faculty, and hopefully the Dean -- this is his first 
 Boalt Hall graduation at the helm -- in wearing an orange ribbon (we'll be 
 handing them out to celebrants going inside) in solidarity with torture 
 victims at Guantanamo and prisons everywhere. \n
