A quick Google search finds a WashPost Op-Ed Sunday, and a review of Woo's new book. Hope you'll all buy a copy.

John Yoo deserves much credit for helping open up a secretive subject for public discussion, even when it has meant unpleasantness for himself. As the apparent author of many of the Bush administration's post-9/11 policies, including those that authorize the National Security Agency (NSA) to violate the wiretap statute and strip Geneva Convention protections from anyone suspected of affiliation with al Qaeda and the Taliban, Yoo lives in a firestorm. In the past few months alone, international lawyers have called for his criminal indictment, students have broken into his classroom at Berkeley (where the former deputy assistant attorney general now teaches law) to stage a mock detainee hearing, and lecture halls where he is scheduled to speak have been boycotted. Such political grandstanding is shameful behavior; in fact, Yoo should be commended for not hiding behind the standard Washington clich of saying, "That's classified; I can't talk about it."
