JOHN YOO, WAR CRIMINAL, CAN'T STOP LYING

Yoo has an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, 6/17/2008, "The Supreme Court Goes to War," that is full of lies, half-truths and fantasy. He starts with a favorite wingnut tatctic: make up shit about your ideological opponents:

Boumediene should finally put to rest the popular myth that right-wing conservatives dominate the Supreme Court.

This myth only exists in Yoo's twisted, self-serving mind.

Yoo next tells a half-truth:

Until Boumediene, the Supreme Court had never allowed an alien who was captured fighting against the U.S. to use our courts to challenge his detention.

Uh, we aren't SURE that they were all captured fighting against the U.S. and there have been many detainess who were completely innocent.

Near the end his op-ed, Yoo tells this lie:

...our military and intelligence agencies have killed or captured much of al Qaeda's original leadership. What's left is on the run, due to the very terrorism policies under judicial attack.

What's left of Al Qaeda and its leadership is flourishing in Pakistan.
