flashback to let’s crush some testicles. there’s a guy name John Yoo who was a deputy assistant to then attorney general for all of jesusland john ashcroft. his finger prints are all over most of the torture files. well that would only make sense since he wrote a lot of it. yoo believes that the bush-killer can do anything to obtain info including cruching your childs’ testicles in front of you…ahhh you have to love freedom, justice and the american way. the cassel fella is a professor at notre dame and a scholar in the field of human rights. this exchange took place in a debate in chicago on dec 1 2005

Cassel: If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?
Yoo: No treaty.
Cassel: Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.
Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.
