Interesting. If the memorandum (which I have not read) was written in bad faith, to encourage the commission of illegal acts, then the writer should be imprisoned. On the other hand, if making an argument for unpopular, even horrendous actions, is grounds for the firing of a tenured professor, then intellectual freedom is under assault. So I would tend to agree with Kleiman, from UCLA, who believes that Yoo should be imprisoned, but not stripped of tenure.
