Berkeley city council urges U.S. to prosecute former Bush official

The EssEffChron is a gold mine today. Really just 'low-hanging fruit' but that might be an inappropriate term to describe gleanings from a Frisco rag.

After an emotional, fiery debate over academic freedom and torture, Berkeley's city council passed a measure late Monday night imploring the U.S. to prosecute Berkeley resident and former White House official John Yoo for war crimes.

Yoo, a tenured professor at UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, wrote the legal memos justifying torture while interrogating terrorism suspects while he served as Deputy Assistant Attorney general for the Bush administration in 2001-03.

It's a nice idea not that anybody gives a shit what Berserkeley does.

Yoo was not available for comment Tuesday.

Probably packing up for his new gig as houseboy at Estancia de Bush-o in Paraguay.
