1. he seriously creeped me out on Frontline last night

I felt as if I were watching the face of totalitarianism itself. He's a dangerous man.

I had to scratch my head a few times and wondered if he really was an attorney

I even missed Keith last night just to watch Frontline, very informative

13. Don't forget Viet Dinh - "Architect" of the PATRIOT Act

Viet Dinh vs. Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts150.html

Viet Dinh is one of the authors of the so-called "PATRIOT Act," an anti-American piece of legislation recognized throughout the civil libertarian community as an assault on American civil liberties. Former Republican congressman Bob Barr has fought to restrain the act’s more egregious intrusions into the constitutionally protected privacy of American citizens.

Even Republican US senators, such as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, are concerned about the Bush regime’s proclivity for warrantless spying in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Senator Specter is drafting legislation with which he hopes to curtail President Bush’s illegal activity. As far as I can tell, the legal community recognizes that Bush’s warrantless spying is illegal, except for members of the Republican Federalist Society, a group of lawyers dedicated to concentrating unaccountable powers in the executive.

~snippety

Dinh himself endorsed the Führer Principle and urged it upon the conservatives when he declared, "The conservative movement has a healthy skepticism of governmental power, but at times, unfortunately, that healthy skepticism needs to yield." Yield to what? To the Leader who works "to defend this country."

2. He looks like the kid who shot up the Virginia Tech campus

Brothers in arms.

[depakid]

4. This man needs to be disbarred

He's unethical and an utter disgrace to ALL California attorneys.

[CabalPowered]

8. What bothers me is how calm he seems when speaking

on these topics. Not a doubt in his mind.

[grasswire]

12. yes

MK-Ultra?

[supernova]

9. I wonder how

sombody who emigrated to America as a baby, grew up to have such warped ideas.

:wtf:

[ComandanteChe]

10. The same way a child of privilege....

from the wealthiest nation on Earth can grow up to be a drunk, a dimwit, a draft dodger, an incompetent fool, a war criminal and a mass murderer.

Yoo should be tried for war crimes at The Hague or better yet, dropped off in the middle of Sadr City.

I wonder what he'd think of torturing Arabs and little children then?
