John Yoo
QUOTE
John Yoo, the former Bush administration lawyer who gained notoriety for penning a number of the so called “torture memos” justifying the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on terrorism suspects, has filed an appeal of a lawsuit against him with a court on whose bench sits another torture “architect” from the Bush administration.
Jay Bybee
Yoo’s lawyers have filed an appeal against a lawsuit by convicted terrorist supporter Jose Padilla to the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. One of the judges on that bench is Jay Bybee, who served early on in the Bush administration in the same Office of Legal Counsel where Yoo wrote the torture memos.
Bybee is known for having written the “Bybee memo,” which spelled out the definition of “enhanced interrogation techniques” the Bush administration used against terrorism suspects, now abandoned by the Obama Justice Department.
QUOTE
Yoo wrote a number of controversial memos regarding torture, including one that declared “enhanced interrogation” only met the legal definition of torture if it caused pain equal to “organ failure, impairment of bodily function or even death.”
Both Bybee and Yoo are defendants in a Spanish prosecution of the principal creators of the Bush administration’s torture policies. In their appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court, Yoo’s lawyers declared that a lawsuit against him by convicted terrorist supporter Jose Padilla could “open the floodgates to politically motivated lawsuits” against government officials, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday.
“Threatening executive branch lawyers with personal liability for reaching allegedly incorrect legal conclusions regarding the constitutionality of a president’s wartime actions would infringe on the core war making authority that the Constitution reserves to the political branches,” the Chronicle quoted attorney Miguel Estrada.
Last June, federal court Judge William White allowed Padilla’s lawsuit against Yoo to proceed. Padilla’s lawyers had argued that the inmate had been tortured during his three year detention at a naval brig in South Carolina, largely on the basis of the justifications provided to the administration by Yoo.
The lawsuit stated Padilla suffered “gross physical and psychological abuse at the hands of federal officials as part of a systematic program of abusive interrogation intended to break down Mr Padilla’s humanity and his will to live.” Padilla’s lawyers are seeking a symbolic $1 in punitive damages and a declaration by the court that his treatment was unconstitutional.
Yoo’s lawyers are now appealing Judge White’s decision. Padilla’s lawyers have until Dec. 9 to challenge the appeal, notes the San Francisco Appeal.
Padilla’s arrest at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport in May, 2002, on his return from Egypt, was widely publicized. Initial statements from authorities identified him under his Muslim name, Abdullah al-Muhajir. He was accused of planning a dirty bomb attack.
QUOTE
In what many observers saw as a White House test of the limits of constitutional powers, the Bush administration declared Padilla, a US citizen, an “enemy combatant” who was not eligible for a civilian trial, and kept him in detention at a naval brig in South Carolina for three and a half years.
Under pressure from civil liberties groups, the Bush administration granted Padilla access to civilian courts, and in 2007 he was convicted of aiding a terrorist organization. The indictment in that case made no mention of the dirty bomb plot for which he was initially detained.
Yoo rose to public prominence in the later years of the Bush administration, as his and others’ memos on torture practices came to light. He now teaches law at the University of California in Berkeley. No date has been set for the appeals court hearing to dismiss Padilla’s lawsuit against him.

Reply: ..This situation is totally absurd.. everyone on Earth has heard Jews sob stories about pogroms and persecution, and listened to them castigate everyone else for not doing more to prevent the Nazi menace, that supposedly sent Jews to the gas chamber in WW2!
Now it has come to light that the Nazis were indeed the Zionazi, an extreme sect of the Ashkenazi, who are themselves non Jews whose ancestors converted to Judah in about 740 AD, who have since ursurped the mores and traditions of the Jewish faith and installed themselves as "Pharisees."
They were pulling Hitler's and Josef Stalin's strings, and it was they who instigated the Holodomor in the Ukraine, and the depredations of Trotsky and Lenin before that, that took the lives of millions of politically active Russians who had responded to the same Jewish political propaganda, and joined the Communist Party.
As well as the Holocaust in Nazi occupied Europe was their doing.. take a look at the massive rallies and torchlight festivals that brought the Nazis to power, how was a political party made up of shell shocked war veterans led by a street artist, ever going to afford the uniforms, the flags, and all the rest of the paraphernalia of the Nazi rise to power!
The same Ashkenazi mindset now controls US President Barak Obama, and Gordon Brown in the UK.. what the hell is going on when news reports casually discuss torture of "suspected terrorists," the terrorists are the Jews who have infiltrated the political, social and media dissemination apparatus world wide.
What happened to the ethic that the Jews said failed to protect them from the Nazis, where are the voices now ..whatever anyone thinks, or wants to believe, or hides from the facts are that the Jews did 911.. not Osama bin Laden, not Al Qaida.. J-e-w-s.
The same Jew propagandists have never got through tellin' everybody about the Nazi torture chambers, and the simpering face of poor Anne Frank is all over the place ..never mind there was no Anne Frank, and if there was, the Pharisees would have gassed her along with the rest of the non Pharisee Jews of Amsterdam.
The concept that John Yoo and his clones, can just go on torturing innocent people to death on the grounds that they are "suspected terrorists" has got to be curtailed.. and if anyone is waitin' for "them" to get it done, he will be waitin' forever because "them" is Jews.
You have to stand against them Americans.. and don't ever think Ron Schmaul is gonna save you no more cynical politician exists, if he was ever going to stand up for America he would have opened his yapper and decried the Jew calumny of 911 by now.
911 is where the Jews are most vulnerable, since there is a mountain of evidence on the i'net that both proves the official story a lie, and proves they did it.. which means they are, along with the Americans in the US political and MSM establishment, capital traitors that have to be brought to justice, else it is exitus America!
