So how is it that a man who wrote the legal justification for war crimescan land a position at one of the country’s most prestigious law schools? Jesus’ own favorite military officer, Gen. J.C. Christian, writesan open letter to Boalt Hall dean Christopher Edley, Jr, asking after John Yoo:

I envision the institute as being a place where the greatest thinkers the pain induction industry has to offer can gather to discuss the possibilities torture and terror offer as instruments for spreading democracy.
“„I also think it’s important to determine how we can continue to generate the political will to defend our use of torture. I have a few ideas about this, and I hope you will consider my application to be the Institute’s first Mengele Professor of Sado-Political Studies.
I’m auditing his course.
