Orin Kerr links to Berkeley Law Dean Chris Edley's anodyne defense of BL's retention of John Yoo.
Cato the Elder responds:
What you linked to was the speech of a modern day Pontius Pilate. There are too many reservations and caveats trying to appeal to the worst instincts of the leftist protesters within the essay that it shouldn't properly be called a straightforward defense of academic freedom. This is a coded message to the Berkeley faculty and outside observers: "I wash my hands of him..."
Steve observes:
The analogy of Yoo to Jesus arguably does not hold.
