I think it is nothing short of disgusting that the Wall Street Journal saw fit to publish John Yoo’s editorial today in defense of torturing people. When will this country stop humiliating itself? The only place where John Yoo should be defending torture is in a court of law. Period. That is his right. He has no right to be published in one of our nation’s most prestigious and internationally-read newspapers. His argument is an appalling affront to human decency and does nothing but pile manure on our reputation for supporting human rights.
John Yoo should not be invited to speak anywhere and he should not be published. Let him spend his own money to get his loathsome ideas propagated. The man is a stain. Anyone that takes his ideas seriously is morally decrepit and should be shunned by polite society. John Yoo belongs in prison. Our national honor demands that he go to prison.
