The Hunt for John Yoo: Reader Perspective

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.

Cheap Eats? Steal from Whole Foods Market
People can get a garden burger anywhere. People come to Whole Foods for the atmosphere and the attitude. Oh yeah, and because they permit shoplifting.

A student at the Maryland School of Law has posted a music video on YouTube of his experiences at law school.

Owen Jarvis is, in his own words, "the closest thing to a rock star at the University of Maryland law school." The video has been a huge hit on YouTube and even law professors at other universities are showing the video in class.

How To Do Illegal Stuff at CU: Drugs

How To Do Illegal Stuff at CU: Drugs
From the inside of college life it's hard to tell that 21 is the drinking age. Or that drugs are illegal. And that's because Cornell is not obligated to tell the real police about any laws you may break on its grounds (although if you kill someone, they sure will).

Effectively, you can pretty much... MORE »
