America will never take you woman and kill them for not covering their faces. America will never blow up upit buildings. These comedians are really fucking brave, I will give them the utmost respect if they go to Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan etc dress like a jew, westerner, American etc whos bound and ask them when hes gonna get his head sawed off with a dull knife.
@malbert34 Nope. Not joking. And no, I am not standing up for torture. I made no comment about torture.
It may be lost on you, but reality is, this is not a black and white issue. We already inflict all sorts of pain on prisoners through other means (confinement, separation from loved one's, etc.). I don't know about you, but I stood at Ground Zero and watched them dig out the bodies. I'm not so naive as to think that there are not many who want nothing more than to do it again... in Australia.
@ninuxy That's gutsy? Not as gutsy as publicly declaring that the President may crush the testicles of a child to interrogate the child's father. This man should be rotting in a cell, not being paid by the State of California.
@ninuxy The Yoo quote involved the crushing of a child's testicles. Such a hypothetical is laughable - I have heard similar ones employed many times. The Geneva Conventions were sealed in the blood of millions of innocent people. To overturn them for convenience is despicable and profane. And, the government has yet to produce one shred of evidence to the public that torture has produced information has saved a single life.
Ever notice how as soon as you learn a new word or new fact, it suddenly appears everywhere? We watched a video about Addington, Cheney, and Yoo just yesterday in US Government class. It's almost as if someone's watching me and subtly altering my search results and the wording of things I read. Oh yeah, that's right, we're also reading 1984 in English, so that would explain it!
The students were clapping for Yoo...no kidding. These are chikenhawk law students who will rather stay here and use their mouths only to fight in Iraq. I'd suggest they suit up and head out to the desert to fight.
Tante persone nel mondo sono ancora convinte del valore dei principi fondamentali dell'uomo; in tanti non si piegano all'idea che tutto sia commercio e affari; a volte il denaro, le minacce o la violenza riescono a far cambiare loro idea, in altre occasioni sono tanto convinte che è necessario torturarle e perfino ucciderle! Prendiamo lezione da questi campioni della democrazia, per riconoscerli basta guardare la bandiera è a stelle e striscie rosso sangue. VERGOGNA!
California Civil Code Part IV, Section 3510: "When the reason of a rule ceases, so should the rule itself."
Yoo, in one fell swoop, destroyed the reason behind the Geneva Conventions, he is the primary one responsible for the actions of Abu Ghraib. The Geneva Conventions were built as a dam against the monster that is human nature in war. Yoo poked a hole in that dam and destroyed the entire reason for the rule, hence invalidating the entire document for the world.
So Arthuride water boarding is wrong unless it is done to people who you disagree with politically. So by extension you If these people had water boarded people or written memos allowing it you would be okay with it.. Well shit thank god they only murdered people and sawed human heads of with dull knives....
Torture is wrong. Those who advocate, invoke, and lead other to torture (John Yoo for example) or agree to it (George W Bush) should be executed (including those who injure or kill as seen in the actions of the Revolutionary Guard of Iran, the military of Honduras, the National Police of Peru, etc). Waterboarding is unforgiveable to defend or use--and its defenders and those who use it forfeit all right to life. I do not waterboard those who disagree with me--just those who use it.
@ArtThroughtheAges All through this thread... the piously help morals about torture don't apply to people who don't agree with you... Gotta love extremist wacko hypocrisy.
Yoo should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and other war crimes, but it was Yoo who convinced Bush not to sign the Geneva Convention nor recognize the World Court at The Hague as Yoo had already committed numerous assaults on human freedom before he gained his post to advocate waterboarding. I fail to find one shred of humanity in this miscreant, and like W Bush he will go down in history as the greatest evil of the 20th century.
John Woo greatest evil of the 20th century....yeah normally that would be a crazy thing to say but nope, you reference obscure German literature about prosecuting witches.

You are reading books published by Regency?

You must belong to Palin's fanclub and are a supporter of Yoo and Cheney? Try reading the records in South America--not propaganda for the GOP.
No buddy I am Canadian first of all, never lived or voted in the USA. I am not forgiving the crimes of those you state.

Bolivia's army executed Che in Oct 68 and "found" his diary--that was published by Castro (in the USA it was published by Ramparts). I own a copy of both editions. Where does it say he shot a 14 year old boy. He writes about his physical afflictions (Flatulence is a common theme) and his frustration that the peasants he was helping would not join forces. What version are you reading? Personal letters? There is one Oct 65 to Fidel. Where are the others?

I have a feeling that lots of people deserved to be executed in your eyes for more "crimes" then water boarding..Crimes against the state must be dealt with, no?
Lets go through the list of moronic things you said.
1. The Geneva Convention was signed when Bush was 3.
2. Bush was a Governor of Texas up until 2001 so you might mean the 21st century.
3. You claim waterboarding is unforgivable, but then say you just water board other people who water board. Does that mean your actions are unforgivable and that advocate it and therefore should be executed..hmm I think so...
Your Stalinist mindset is impressive, you'll be putting people on box cars for sure
The first Geneva Convention was signed in 1929; the one you are referring to was signed i 1949; but the one I referred to was the one that John Yoo told Bush not to sign in 2001 as Yoo "advised that President George W. Bush and the U.S. military did not have to comply with any international laws in the handling of detainees in the war on terrorism." (Bush reversed himself in 2002 for "detainees"). The Supreme Court declared Bush president in 2000 & he resigned as governor of TX. Try reading.
Bush didn't sign the convention, he didn't have to..The USA already ratified the last version.
Yoo advised him on several matters, one of which pertains to how unlawful combatants were handled, and how the convention applied to them. Note that members of the Iraqi army were treated in full compliance with the Convention when they were captured.
Bush was sworn in in 2001,that's when he could make decisions. Also The year 2000 is considered the 21st century.
@DrArthurFrederickIde See, right here... you domonstrate your blind, mindless hatred.
Bush is "the greatest evil of the 20th century."
Hitler? Yeah, he was bad I guess, but he sure didn't hold a candle to that Bush guy. Hitler killed millions of Jews because they were Jews? Yeah, but Bush may have been aware that some of his guys used enhanced interogation to stop gutless terrorists from blowing up more civilians.
How are we supposed to take you seriously?! Good grief.
Einstein said, "It is curious -- curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare." Justification can always be found for committing despicable acts, because, as a species, we lie to ourselves. The truth is that the memory or anticipation of others' despicable acts doe not grant us license for our own.
Greattttttttttttttt. For him was easy to say that the president can even order to crash a boy´s testicles if his father was considered a terrorist suspect. Whoever, seeing directly what he created was not that cool. Thanks guys
Yoo took his absurd torture practices straight out of the manual for the Spanish Inquisition of the Roman Catholic church. He makes current cardinals look like saints, for by his machinations he is determined on total mind control. I am surprised he does not use the book "Malleus Maleficarum" by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger as his text book on justice--Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alioto do--openly.

i'm sorry but that was dumb. oh so the mean people buzzed my balls and made me hold my arms up. at least my fingers were not chopped off along with my HEAD. jesus you guys have your priorities and ideals all messed up
"The United States does not torture" is about as straightforward as it gets. There is no such thing as "torture lite", i.e., "enhanced interrogation techniques". Even if there were such a thing, it wouldn't be worth doing in the first place. You know how the US found out about 7 of the 9/11 hijackers? We gave a captured Al Queda operative some sugar-free cookies. That has been the most successful interrogation since the war started. If you want any more info, feel free to argue with me ;)
Oh, but we've only scratched the surface of the wonderful world of torture. We haven't even talked about the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, Abu Ghraib, ticking timebomb scenerios or anything.
I can understand why you wouldn't want to argue with someone who does research...but to your credit, I can understand how your common sense would tell you that "enhanced interrogation techniques" might be beneficial for the US. Unfortunately, reality says otherwise.
Even if the ends (preventing terrorism) were justified the means (torture), it doesnt grantee that the information you obtain is accurate. If youre in pain, you will say ANYTHING in order to make the pain stop, but not necessarily the truth. Even if you do get the truth, the effort is counter productive because it rallies more people to their side. You could argue that said torture should never be made public, but then your promoting a secret autocratic establishment with unlimited authority.
You do know that there is proof of torture right? It's stupid to believe the government wouldn't do something taboo just because people think its wrong.
wtf are you babbling about now? I DON'T CARE! Sorry i am not going to spend time oranizing my youtube thesis. shit i've spent way too much time even writing this. everybody's right on the internetz! fuckin hell...
someone explain to me why Berkeley has hired this man. and please tell me students are protesting his office daily. honest to christ, he should be working at Liberty University or Bob Jones, not the liberal bastion of academia. kudos to the protesters btw.
@liberal4ever Right. Because Christian Fundamentalists believe in torture... It amazes me that you consider yourself enlightened and open minded. Such ingorance is disturbing to watch.
Ah, nothing like a little criticism of the American government to bring out all the xenophobes. And, btw, "bonjourmimi1", the Chasers have for years "worried" about their own society and government, which you can see in most episodes of the show. And jrbwp4: your predilection for women and their underpants completely undermines any credibility you might have.
Oh please, Stripey, spare me the ad hominem banter. What is that anyway, an attempt at straight-bashing? Should I remark about your penchant for the young Elton John? My anecdote pointed out hypocrisy, nothing more. I didn't make a statement about all Australians or Australia. Criticizing another country's government or their citizen's videos is not xenophobic. Futile, perhaps, but not xenophobic. I imagine that the 'Chasers' other videos would provide some better context for everyone.
Oh, it was so satisfying to see the students stand up for Yoo's right to lecture to them about constitutional law. I think Charles Manson teaches a similar course at that school about private rights.

This runs typical of my experience with Australian youth. I had my first encounter with a group of Australian cretins in Sydney in 2000. After a night of boosting the Aussie Rum economy, we ran into some drunk and rather obtuse Aussies at our bus stop who, after so astutely deducing that we were Americans, started ranting about the Vietnam War to us - as if Australian history is all roses. As this happened, a homeless Aborigine limped by the scene... you want to talk about torture, eh, mate?
I guess I don't mind spelling it out for you. According to Yoo, it was "ok." Personally, I don't think it did us any good. So, no I am not saying it was "okay." I was merely pointing out my experience with hypocrisy in the anecdote.
Given that the use of electricity to the 'nards well predates this lovely post 9/11 world by Algerian way (which 9/11 you say? surely not the Chilean one) I think we can just ACCEPT that it was done indiscriminately and with maximum prejudice now as well as then.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
1st, this is not Berkely, idiots. Take credit but can't tell us the school you were at? Pathetic!!
2nd, this is an interference w/ the class late in the semester. The Students were PISSED. They had no idea if this person had a gun, weapon, or worse yet, a bomb. Their class was cut short ... and in law school that is a huge deal.
As for the students ... they are some of the best and brightest people I know. Anyone insulting them ought to try law school. I give the average person 3 weeks.
How horrifying that these self-absorbed weenies should have their journey to six-figure law careers interrupted for a few minutes. And late in the semester at that!
Half the students at UC are from other countries, like China and such. So enough of the American Bashing.
But yes the students are little drones of the torture doctrine, and it was fantastic as performance art. I like how Yoo says he will "give a certain amount of time before I report it to security", like the guy is really afraid.
As an American, I officially apologize for the awful bastards in the right-wing here. Obama has been a real pussy about investigating and prosecuting war crimes. It's embarrassing that Yoo has to face Australian comedians rather than American judges. google "Indict Bush Now"
@beelzebubblicious6 So generous. I know that majority of Americans who are conservative embarrass you, but the fact is, you embarrass me. Just step off your high horse and take a few deep breaths.
Why is it that only some Australians came up with the idea such a thing? Why are the students allowing him on campus at all? Berkeley sure isn't the kind of place it was 40 years ago.
However, (at least in Canada) I would have the blue dress lady charged with assault for touching. I did not hear her tell you you were trespassing, just to leave the classroom.
Even a security guard couldn't grab you like that...
Also, I believe 'non-students' have every right to be in the classroom. Amirite?
Everyone in that class and college should be put in Abu Ghraib and tortured and raped in exactly the same way as the Usraelis have done to their victims. ONLY THEN would these students have learnt something real!
I was making a British/American joke that clearly escaped you. BTW, I have loudly opposed people like John Yoo - difference is, I might do some actual good, because I can be taken seriously. Advocating the torture and rape of anyone just makes you a parody; maybe you'll figure that out when you're all grown up.
No a laughing matter, but incredibly on point. While you laugh, it drives the issue home with perfect precision.
Yoo belongs in jail with Bush and Cheney in adjoining cells. Sadly the current resident of the WH seems to agree with their point of view as to our Constitution.
That was easily one of the most clever ideas I've come across. While no one deserves to be water-boarded, I wonder who the hell would pay (and pay a lot) to listen to John Yoo give lectures on international law and the constitution? It'd be like paying to hear Hitler give a lecture on Zionism!

3. You claim waterboarding is unforgivable, but then say you just water board other people who water board. Does that mean your actions are unforgivable and that advocate it and therefore should be executed..hmm I think so...
Your Stalinist mindset is impressive, you'll be putting people on box cars for sure

The first Geneva Convention was signed in 1929; the one you are referring to was signed i 1949; but the one I referred to was the one that John Yoo told Bush not to sign in 2001 as Yoo "advised that President George W. Bush and the U.S. military did not have to comply with any international laws in the handling of detainees in the war on terrorism." (Bush reversed himself in 2002 for "detainees"). The Supreme Court declared Bush president in 2000 & he resigned as governor of TX. Try reading.

Bush didn't sign the convention, he didn't have to..The USA already ratified the last version.
Yoo advised him on several matters, one of which pertains to how unlawful combatants were handled, and how the convention applied to them. Note that members of the Iraqi army were treated in full compliance with the Convention when they were captured.
Bush was sworn in in 2001,that's when he could make decisions. Also The year 2000 is considered the 21st century.

Bush is "the greatest evil of the 20th century."
Hitler? Yeah, he was bad I guess, but he sure didn't hold a candle to that Bush guy. Hitler killed millions of Jews because they were Jews? Yeah, but Bush may have been aware that some of his guys used enhanced interogation to stop gutless terrorists from blowing up more civilians.
How are we supposed to take you seriously?! Good grief.

Einstein said, "It is curious -- curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare." Justification can always be found for committing despicable acts, because, as a species, we lie to ourselves. The truth is that the memory or anticipation of others' despicable acts doe not grant us license for our own.

Yoo took his absurd torture practices straight out of the manual for the Spanish Inquisition of the Roman Catholic church. He makes current cardinals look like saints, for by his machinations he is determined on total mind control. I am surprised he does not use the book "Malleus Maleficarum" by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger as his text book on justice--Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alioto do--openly.

"The United States does not torture" is about as straightforward as it gets. There is no such thing as "torture lite", i.e., "enhanced interrogation techniques". Even if there were such a thing, it wouldn't be worth doing in the first place. You know how the US found out about 7 of the 9/11 hijackers? We gave a captured Al Queda operative some sugar-free cookies. That has been the most successful interrogation since the war started. If you want any more info, feel free to argue with me ;)

Oh, but we've only scratched the surface of the wonderful world of torture. We haven't even talked about the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, Abu Ghraib, ticking timebomb scenerios or anything.
I can understand why you wouldn't want to argue with someone who does research...but to your credit, I can understand how your common sense would tell you that "enhanced interrogation techniques" might be beneficial for the US. Unfortunately, reality says otherwise.
omgwtflolz 2 years ago
Even if the ends (preventing terrorism) were justified the means (torture), it doesnt grantee that the information you obtain is accurate. If youre in pain, you will say ANYTHING in order to make the pain stop, but not necessarily the truth. Even if you do get the truth, the effort is counter productive because it rallies more people to their side. You could argue that said torture should never be made public, but then your promoting a secret autocratic establishment with unlimited authority.

Oh please, Stripey, spare me the ad hominem banter. What is that anyway, an attempt at straight-bashing? Should I remark about your penchant for the young Elton John? My anecdote pointed out hypocrisy, nothing more. I didn't make a statement about all Australians or Australia. Criticizing another country's government or their citizen's videos is not xenophobic. Futile, perhaps, but not xenophobic. I imagine that the 'Chasers' other videos would provide some better context for everyone.

This runs typical of my experience with Australian youth. I had my first encounter with a group of Australian cretins in Sydney in 2000. After a night of boosting the Aussie Rum economy, we ran into some drunk and rather obtuse Aussies at our bus stop who, after so astutely deducing that we were Americans, started ranting about the Vietnam War to us - as if Australian history is all roses. As this happened, a homeless Aborigine limped by the scene... you want to talk about torture, eh, mate?

1st, this is not Berkely, idiots. Take credit but can't tell us the school you were at? Pathetic!!
2nd, this is an interference w/ the class late in the semester. The Students were PISSED. They had no idea if this person had a gun, weapon, or worse yet, a bomb. Their class was cut short ... and in law school that is a huge deal.
As for the students ... they are some of the best and brightest people I know. Anyone insulting them ought to try law school. I give the average person 3 weeks.

Half the students at UC are from other countries, like China and such. So enough of the American Bashing.
But yes the students are little drones of the torture doctrine, and it was fantastic as performance art. I like how Yoo says he will "give a certain amount of time before I report it to security", like the guy is really afraid.
Job well done.
