"Yeah," Yoo replied, according to a partial transcript included in the report. "Although, let me say this: So, certainly, that would fall within the commander-in-chief's power over tactical decisions."
"To order a village of civilians to be [exterminated]?" the OPR investigator asked again.
"Sure," said Yoo.

Notorious examples of the Nazi massacre of entire villages.
John Yoo has revealed himself, and the regime he served, as sharing the Nazi Weltanschauung.
Whilst MSM ignores the story in favour of celebrity sex scandals.
Jan, your list of examples could be multiplied by ten or twenty-fold, or more. But you made the point. Yoo is a modern-day neo-fascist who does believe what the Nazi's believed...that civilian deaths mean nothing negative, and perhaps something positive for the oppressor Ubermensch. We have come full circle [again] and NO one in the MSM is even noticing. I begin to feel we are not doing more than documenting for some alien race, when they come in the future, the ethical and moral failures of Humans in the 21st and earlier centuries. It is a very sad note. Celebrity sex they won't understand. Genocide, hate, murder, they will. Our species, I fear, will be rated among the most bestial of the known ones in the Universe. What a joke that those in power see us as the only ones in the Universe and moral as all hell [Dante's seventh level, I think....]
