Because if its a choice between academic freedom and indulging in continued hatred of President Bush, its really no contest:
Anti-war activists are protesting at the University of California, Berkeley to demand the removal of a law professor who used to craft legal theories for the Bush administration on waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.
Monday is the first day of classes at UC Berkeley’s School of Law. The target of the protest there is John Yoo, who worked for President Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2001-03. The demonstators want Yoo to be prosecuted for war crimes…
Of course, these same demonstrators will never call for, say, Fidel Castro to be prosecuted – after all, he really did commit war crimes, but because he’s a socialist, its all ok. Be a Republican who merely offers some legal advice to a President you hate – up against the wall, you SOB!
