There is a group in MN that has continued to protest those who authored, ordered and participate in torture.
We continue to put pressure on a catholic University, St Thomas, that hired one of the White House legal counselor that wrote it ok to ignore the Geneva Conventions. We have protested at the Law Schools graduation for the 4-5 years.
the professor is Robert Delahunty and is the elder legal counsel to Bush. He co-authored the legal memo with John Yoo.

Saturday, May 12, 11:00 a.m. Sidewalk in front of Orchestra Hall, 11th Street between Marquette Avenue and Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis. Come demonstrate against torture outside the University of St. Thomas Law School commencement ceremony. Robert Delahunty (later hired as professor by St. Thomas Law School) co-authored the January 2002 cornerstone memo with John Yoo that “legalized” torture and cruel and inhumane treatment of detainees by telling George Bush that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to “non-state actors” captured by the U.S. The Law School will not admit that Delahunty-Yoo’s “torture memo” was wrong and its students are still apparently led to believe that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to the “war on terror.” Recently the law school hosted former Attorney General Michael Mukasey who declared that waterboarding is not torture.
Please join us! This will be the 3rd time we’ve held anti-torture signs, handed out leaflets and wore “Gitmo orange” (extra suits available) outside the school’s commencement. Organized by: WAMM’s Tackling Torture at the Top (T3) Committee.
