The Hunt for John Yoo: Reader Perspective
Question: Should Professor John Yoo be released from his position at Berkeley Law School, under the accusations that a.) his "torture memos" violate international human rights laws or that b.) his "torture memos" grant the executive branch legal powers that many others of the law profession find to be contestable or simply illegal?
Yes, John Yoo should be fired. His work should be considered illegal, and should not be associated to UC Berkeley in any way. 
No, John Yoo should be allowed his position. His work is not guilty of the above accusations.
No, John Yoo should be allowed his position. Regardless of the accusations, it is a university's responsibility to maintain the tenure system.
It's summer, I DON'T care.

This is Senator Jim DeMint's video campaign to support his resolution of cutting funds to Berkeley public projects.

In short, it's C-span style footage of a Berkeley City Council meeting, followed by short interviews of a grand total of three different veterans, with a flute playing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in the background. Enjoy?
