The University of California's advocacy for the U.S. Torture State began with a rather banal defense of
employee John Yoo, whose conduct and work at
the Bush/Cheney Justice Department fell far outside

Christopher Edley sticks with his misapplication of
the principle of 'academic freedom' to provide safe
harbor to his subordinate, despite repeated
rebuttals from those who correctly understand that
unethical, criminal and immoral action in the service
of government are not protected.

"the more we can educate the better! Clearly, the more we can reach outside our
'anti-torture groups' to the larger uninformed, apathetic public, the better, either through
demonstrations or through sharing such news and photographs with those friends,
relatives, and citizenry who are not paying attention to the issues of war, war crimes and
war blowback -- Coleen Rowley, former FBI Special Agent
