Police have arrested at least four people during a protest at the University of California, Berkeley campus.
Campus police made the arrests as protesters gathered Monday outside the UC Berkeley School of Law to call for the dismissal of John Yoo.
He's scheduled to begin teaching there after spending the spring semester at Chapman University School of Law in Orange County.
The arrests came after police asked the protesters to leave.
Yoo worked for the Bush administration from 2001 to 2003, when he helped craft legal theories for waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques.
The tenured professor has defended the controversial techniques, saying they were needed to protect the country from terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

I can't believe they are allowing him to "teach." He's the one that should be arrested.

What I can't figure out is why anyone would want to learn law from him in the first place. If he will just bend and reshape "law" into whatever his handlers want it to be he obviously has very little respect for the field.

He wrote the "opinions" that allowed people to break the law, a clear violation of the 14th Amendment.
