Protest St Thomas Law Professor Delahunty who co-authored torture memo 5/8 at noon
Saturday, May 8 in front of Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to protest the University of St. Thomas' law school graduation the continued employment of Robert Delahunty.



Professor Delahunty is the coauthor with John Yoo who declared January 9, 2002, that "treaties do not protect members of al Qaeda and the Taliban militia.."



Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld soon after that Yoo/Delahunty recommendation wrote a January 19, 2002 memo that noted that " The United States had determined that Al Quaeda and Taliban individuals under the control of the Department of Defense are not entitled to prisoner of war status for the purpose of the Geneva Conventions."
