What in the world has happened to UC Berkeley, once the bastion of liberal civilization? It's hard to believe that John Yoo,a tenured professor of constitutional law is an advocate and justifier of torture for the Bushcheney evil twins.

We don't just need a change in Washington. Berkeley could also use some help it seems.

The advocacy and practice of torture by what is supposed to be a civilized government does not portend well for the future of our country. History show that countries that lose their moral compass eventually lose their power, and sometimes the architects of evil practices are charged as war criminals and suffer punishment for their crimes.

This is a stain on the fabric of our Constitution that must be washed away.
