Jose Padilla Sues Cal Professor Over Terror Memos
MIAMI (AP) ― Convicted terrorism conspirator Jose Padilla sued a key architect of the Bush administration’s counterterrorism policies and UC Berkeley professor Friday, claiming the official’s legal arguments led to Padilla’s alleged mistreatment and illegal detention at a Navy brig.

The lawsuit claims that John Yoo, a former senior Justice Department official, wrote several legal memos that led President Bush to designate Padilla as an enemy combatant shortly after the U.S. citizen was arrested in May 2002 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on suspicion of involvement in an al-Qaida plot.
