Days before a Department of Justice investigation cleared Bush administration lawyer John Yoo of misconduct for his work on legal memos that authorized the use of waterboarding of suspected terrorists by the Central Intelligence Agency, protestors greeted Yoo's appearance at Johns Hopkins University like so:

Yoo, also a professor of law at University of California, Berkeley, can expect the same when he arrives in Charlottesville in March. The Miller Center of Public Affairs will host Yoo on March 19 for a discussion of his new book, Crisis and Command: Executive Power from George Washington to George W. Bush.

A handful of local organizations, from After Downing Street and War Criminals Watch to CODE PINK and the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, will host a "Funk the War" musical march at 2pm, then will meet in front of Minor Hall at 3pm to protest Yoo, who speaks at 3:30pm. The After Downing Street website features protest information, as well as a flyer about the protest.
