What an ass. Someone should waterboard Yoo or try to bury Yoo alive and then ask him whether that constitutes as torture. Furthermore, for any Republicans who think torture is just a slap to the head or a dunk in the water, let's waterboard them too until they confess to aiding and abetting terrorism.You see, not only should we be against torture because it offends every single value that Americans hold dear. Torture has never been shown to provide valuable intelligence. After you break someone, that person will tell you whatever you want to hear. We then waste valuable time and resources chasing down the false information one extracted.Yoo and his buddies ought to be prosecuted for war crimes.

Yoo's a disgrace to the law profession. He's everything people hate about lawyers..no morals, no standards other than whatever THEY think is 'legal'. Is that how far we've sunk as a Nation?
