John Yoo

This is the face of justice. This face hates 'terrorism':



In fact, this face, known as John Yoo, hated terrorism so much that he decided to give orders to terrorize this fellow. This fellow is Jose Padilla:



Some people call him Abdullah al-Muhajir. I will call him Jose. Jose Padilla is a U.S. citizen, arrested on suspicion of being a terrorist, and planning to release a dirty bomb within the United States of America. If these charges are true (which I don't know for certain that they are), then Padilla is a fool. And a bastard.

Padilla was held in a Navy brig for three years and eight months without formal criminal charges brought against him. While in the brig, he was subjected to sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, and stress positions. Here he is in the brig:



Padilla, through is lawyer, filed 'The Great Writ', which allows a person relief from their unlawful detention. When this writ, also known as Habeas Corpus, is filed, the person in detention must be brought before the court with criminal charges, and tried on those charges.

Here is a funny and sensational picture of an interpretation of Habeas Corpus:



This picture isn't funny for Jose Padilla, because he was denied Habeas Corpus. For most people, Habeas Corpus is celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the freedom and liberty of an individual.

John Yoo, a UC Berkeley professor of Law, and an adviser for the Bush administration, wrote in a memo: "the president may have the power to authorize torture of enemy combatants." Yoo also approved of the abusive treatment of Jose Padilla.

John Yoo probably thinks this of Padilla:



This is a picture of scum.

If Padilla was really going to release a 'dirty bomb' in a major U.S. city, then Padilla is, definitely, scum. John Yoo believes in torturing potential 'terrorists' and causing these men and women overall 'terror'.

Here is what I think of John Yoo:



This picture is startling.

Jose Padilla has since been charged with conspiring to murder, kidnap, and maim people overseas. Good for John Yoo, except for those nearly four years of detaining a U.S. citizen without charging him with any crime.

Padilla has since filed a lawsuit against Yoo. The lawsuit has had the chance a snowball has in hell, as some people say (assuming Hell, the capital 'h' hell, is abnormally hot, and not abysmally cold).

The Obama administration has officially asked that the case against Yoo be 'thrown out'. John Yoo, according to the narrative, believes in having other people torture individuals he doesn't understand without proper charges brought against them. Here is what the Obama administration thinks about that:
