To The Editor:
Notwithstanding the general excellence of your news reporting, we readers are reminded once again that the Journal's editorial staff just can't help themselves. In your lead editorial today, you lavish praise on John Yoo and Jay Bybee, and decry their having been so outrageously condemned for the legal opinions they rendered on interrogating terror suspects.
All of this because of the opinion handed down last week that while they committed no professional misconduct, their actions nonettheless reflected "poor judgment." That the Journal should get so pumped up about all this is, in my opinion, yet another example of poor judgment. Yoo and Bybee may have been vindicated here in America on some purely technical grounds, yet the renderings handed down by these men have disgraced our country, and in every other part of the world, they are considered war criminals. Doesn't the Journal understand or care at all about any of that?
Sincerely,
Bernie Hargadon
