The Obama Administration has filed a brief that brushes over the war crimes aspects of Yoo’s work at the Justice Department. Instead, it insists that attorneys must be free to give advice — even if it is to establish a torture program.
I'll be damned.
Giving advice, i.e., organizing the best way to go about a jewelry heist by the boss who doesn't get his hands dirty is still a crime by any measure.
Someone please tell me the difference?
Ah, But David, you're from the 'old school'. Don't you know, now, morality is passee'....only money and power count. Lawyers are the most criminal of the criminal class, IMO.
