Shame on Yoo! May 16, 2009 Golden Gate CODEPINK Berkeley, CA

	Shame on Yoo! The University of California at Berkeley, employer of John "Torture Memos" Yoo, held its Law School graduation. Hundreds of happy students and their families filed into the Greek Theater, wearing or carrying orchid leis and other flowers. They had to walk past dozens of CodePink and World Can't Wait protesters in orange jumpsuits demanding that John Yoo, a Law School professor, be fired. Yoo authored at least two of the infamous torture memos, used by the Bush Administration to justify torturing prisoners. He has never expressed remorse, or apologized for his complicity in war crimes. We ask that Berkeley fire him, that Pennsylvania disbar him, and that U.S. Attorney General Holder prosecute him. After the ceremony, the graduates and their families walked to a reception, where we had posted a Burmashave-like series of signs with messages about Yoo.
