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.

How about this choice: forced to resign, disbarred, prosecuted, jailed, then waterboarded?
