... from the darkest shadows of the conservative underworld. I remember seeing him interviewed some years ago, and I could only characterize it as watching someone wrestle with venomous snakes covered in oil. Slippery doesn't begin to convey what Yoo is.
After nearly 80 years, and having survived encounters with a few truly evil people, not too much unsettles me, but I would not want to be in the same room with John Yoo if I could avoid it. Just proximity to his kind of malice is potentially lethal.
I can't imagine having to live within his sphere of influence. God help his family, if he even has one.
