"The emails CREW obtained may not illuminate the inner-workings of the Office of Legal Counsel during Yoo's tenure, but they do contain a farewell message or two that are revealing in their own way. In late May 2003, as Yoo prepared to depart the Justice Department, he emailed a handful of his closest Bush administration allies with whom he had worked on detainee and terrorism-related matters, including then-White House counsel Aberto Gonzales, the Pentagon's top lawyer, William Haynes, and David Addington, who was Vice President Dick Cheney's counsel.

'Thanks for lunch today, and I'm looking forward to dinner next Thursday,' he wrote. 'That was a great surprise with Secretary Rumsfeld, and I deeply appreciate the honor he bestowed on me. I feel that it would not have been possible had we all not worked together on these issues over the last two years. I hope you all know how much fun and what an honor it has been to work with you all.'"

1. "How much fun..." ..to be a Republicon Torture Tyrant?

WTF? Republicon Family Values are totally twisted ...

You should post this in GD --

2. "why can't the Justice Department produce a complete set of Yoo's emails,

or explain how most of his email records came to be deleted beyond recovery?"

For the same reason DOJ has failed to to investigate or successfully prosecute most of illegal activities going on since at least 2000, I would imagine.

3. I had forgotten

"He would later draft a legal memorandum approving the use of insects to threaten detainees...."

[jtrockville]

4. No mention of Feith or Bybee? The other "Bush Six" are mentioned.

[Alcibiades]

5. Yoo e-mails are hanging out with Bush's

Texas Air National Guard records.

6. No, I'll never get over it.

I'm still damned mad about it, in fact.

7. Once again. There is no greater crime than torture.

Imagine yourself being the victim of a purge at the hands of these cruel and sadistic psychopaths. "He was a Godless liberal so these actions were necessary to protect the nation."

One of the greatest injustices in this country full of injustices is in not prosecuting these Nazi-wannabees.

8. I would suggest subjecting him to some of the 'enhanced

interrogation' techniques he conjured up. I don't think he would object nor would it be illegal, according to him. It might help jog his memory so long as they don't do anything to cause any 'major organs' to be damaged.

To think this criminal is actually teaching in college. What a disgrace that this nation refuses to prosecute these monsters.

9. "...an honor to work with you all..."

FUCK YOO.

FUCK YOO ALL.
