I think Toles ought to have changed the title. Something along the lines of “Yesterday’s Heroes” or “Remember When You Thought They Could Do No Wrong?” would have worked well-enough. Wonder when we’ll lose the celebrity fetish and lust for ‘great men’ narratives. ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e46/Jaboney/sorry.gif) ---

> [@Jaboney](#): > > Hey, anyone see that Yoo may find himself in the dock? 😃 That would set a dangerous precedent. If the Dims succeed in getting Yoo and a terrorist attack occurs, then I’d hope they would go after Obama advisors with as much gusto. Tit for Tat is the name of the game. > [@Wall Street Journal](#): > > Here’s a political thought experiment: Imagine that terrorists stage an attack on U.S. soil in the next four years. In the recriminations afterward, Administration officials are sued by families of the victims for having advised in legal memos that Guantanamo be closed and that interrogations of al Qaeda detainees be limited. > > Should those officials be personally liable for the advice they gave President Obama? > > We’d say no, but that’s exactly the kind of lawsuit that the political left, including State Department nominee Harold Koh, has encouraged against Bush Administration officials. This month a federal judge in San Francisco ruled that a civil suit filed by convicted terrorist Jose Padilla can proceed against former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo for violating the terrorist’s rights. Mr. Yoo is one of those who wrote memos laying out the legal parameters for aggressive interrogation of al Qaeda captives. If Mr. Yoo can be sued, why couldn’t Obama officials also be held liable for their advice if there’s an attack on their watch? > > The mention of Mr. Koh is pertinent because the legal outfit suing Mr. Yoo, and other Bush officials in a separate case in South Carolina, is affiliated with Yale Law School. Mr. Koh is the outgoing dean of Yale and has been perhaps the most prominent legal critic of Bush interrogation policies. He once referred to President Bush as the “torturer in chief.” Yet now President Obama has nominated Mr. Koh to be State Department legal adviser, who is charged with defending U.S. officials from legal assaults. It’s as if Mr. Obama had nominated the AFL-CIO’s John Sweeney as U.S. Trade Representative.
