On Thursday, June 26, the House Judiciary Committee will conduct hearings into the legal genesis of the Bush Administration's torture policies. Featured witnesses will be David Addington, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, and University of California-Berkeley law professor John C. Yoo, who as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, was the principal draftsman of the torture memoranda. The Bay Area's KPFA (94.1 FM in Berkeley) and participating Pacifica Network stations will be carrying the hearing live, gavel-to-gavel, starting at 9:00 a.m. Eastern (6:00 a.m. Pacific) time. Pacifica's Larry Bensky and Harper's legal affairs contributor Scott Horton will be co-anchoring the broadcast, which can be monitored through a streaming webcast. . . .
