John Yoo! Just cold doing friendly cable hits on CNN and not being asked about authorizing war crimes.
Yoo is still going around making jokes about his torture memos at Federalist Society meetings, and the illegal policy that he, Addington, Bybee, Rizzo, et al. built is still preventing us from trying the perpetrators of 9/11, so it's not a yesterday issue.
I request someone from CNN either acknowledge John Yoo should face tough questions about his conduct in govt when he appears on a news channel or, idk, tell me off and explain why the torture memos’ author should be presented as an everyday pundit.
Something other than silence.

These decisions, just like the decision to hire Jeffrey Lord and Sarah Isgur, are political. They frame the world presented to the country, the boundaries of acceptable behavior, and which ideas have a place in American living rooms and which don’t. They ought to be examined.
