Philly Inquirer hires John Yoo as columnist
The Philadelphia Inquirer has hired John Yoo -- the notorious former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer and architect of the ``torture memos'' that not only narrowed the definition of torture to exclude waterboarding and most other widely recognized forms of torture, but justified torture and suspension of the Bill of Rights on US soil -- to be a regular columnist for the paper.
And now the AP reports that John Yoo, probably the most infamous of the infamous characters that walked the halls of the Justice Department during the Bush administration, has agreed to testify as well without compulsion.
