Yoo is lucky to have immigrated from his birthplace in South Korea and acquire an Ivy League education in law. But he has chosen to bend the law to justify tortures like waterboarding. How would he like it done to him? His parents must be ashamed of him since he has chosen to work on behalf of an American dictator who praises Kim Jong Un. Joining Trump's weaponization team with the other rogues must make his work justifying torture seem like normal legal advice for a man without a moral compass.
