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.

"Professor, I've got one question," the comedian asked. "How long am I required to stand here until it counts as torture?"

When students suggested that the comedian leave, he replied: "I'd love to move but every time I do my balls get buzzed."

"Unfortunately, I'm going to have to end the class," Yoo said, gathering his papers and moving towards the exit.

Said Yoo to the comedian: "I'll give you a certain amount of time to leave before I report to security."

3. Hell yes! If we can't get them to the Hague,

they all need to know they cannot go outside of their homes without facing repercussions for their war crimes.

Aussies could teach us a lot about acting instead of sitting silent and allowing.

4. "I'll go to the Human Rights class down the hall, but I don't think you'll be

teaching there."

-the parting shot.
