Aussie comedy show raids John Yoo's Berkeley class

A popular Australian comedy show took the fight over the US's torture program straight to John Yoo's law class at the University of California-Berkeley.

A performer from The Chaser's War on Everything interrupted a lecture by John Yoo -- the former Department of Justice lawyer who wrote many of the legal memos justifying the Bush administration's torture program -- by standing up on a desk dressed in "Abu Ghraib" fashion -- a dark cloak and a black, pointed hood.

1. That was good!
There should be no rest for these people--they should be constantly reminded about what they did.

2. Well worth watching the video - only 1.5 minutes. Yoo just cancels class - where is his commitment
to his students? How much did they pay for that class session?

3. Kudos to those guys!
Every day of John Yoo's life needs to be made a living hell. He has a date with the Hague, but until that time comes, this sort of stuff needs to happen every single day of that pigs life.
