John Yoo in WSJ

Saw John Yoo speak at the Federalist Society a while back but after he had left DOJ.

There also was a quite sympathetic profile of him in Esquire (a bit surprising considering the Manhattan centric, left leaning characters of that mag.)

He writes today about Gitmo in the WSJ.

"...He's (President Obama) also drying up the most valuable sources of intelligence on al Qaeda, which, according to CIA Director Michael Hayden, has come largely out of the tough interrogation of high-level operatives during the early years of the war.

The question Mr. Obama should have asked right after the inaugural parade was: What will happen after we capture the next Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or Abu Zubaydah? Instead, he took action without a meeting of his full national security staff, and without a legal review of all the policy options available to meet the threats facing our country."
