Stewart got pawned (I believe that's what the kids are saying today). While Stewart looked and sounded confused and lost, Woo looked and sounded like a seasoned and capable attorney with a iron-fisted grip on the subject matter at hand. Woo was impressive, affable and reasoned. Stewart was none of those things.

On part 2 especially, Stewart still didn’t get the difference between interrogation and torture so he dragged out the conversation into funny tidbits.

It’s only when Stewart cracks jokes in succession that people already feel he’s as dumb as he looks. It’s like his “tell” in a poker game. I knew he was trying to KEEP pointing at Bush-Cheney as the devil but Yoo is amazingly smart to stand his ground, and that’s another reason why the JS butt-sniifing libtards in the crowd shut up for most of the time because they were actually learning something..

"Close. It’s pwned."

It figures. Kids today are too lazy for all the vowels.

Yoo is the kind of teacher you pray your child could find. I think he had that whole place mezmerized and you know they were a bunch of kids who came in thinking they knew it all. Yoo made you want to go out and buy his book just so you could continue to hear what he had to say.

It's always hysterically funny to watch the Left (i.e. those advocate abortion, perversion, theft of property and wealth through confiscation, abrogation of our right of religious expression, purveyors of propaganda, etc.) try to present their lame arguments as "moral". I thought that everything was relative and only us hide-bound Christians believed in moral absolutes!

Jon Stewart would proclaim his moral superiority if, by banning waterboarding, he allowed a plot to come to fruition that ended with the deaths of a million people through the detonation of a nuclear device in an American city.

What an unmitigated egomaniac and jackass.

Exactly. Liberals think they know it all aka ‘I knew it was Bush’s fault”-crowd and they were stunned by part 3. Their hero John Stewart was not able to funny his way out of this intellectual conversation and he looked silly.

The only truthful thing that made sense coming from Stewart was when he said “I am not a constitutional lawyer but..”

Stewart was probably surprised by the demeanor of Yoo. Yoo was great. He was articulate, intelligent and thoughtful. Stewart came in thinking Yoo was a devil and came away smiten and lost for words

Stewart could handle it when his preconceived notions were refuted. He kept referring to Yoo's work as permitting torture rather than definiing what stopped short of it. I think Yoo finally exlained it to him it over the break.

Despite Stewart's prejudices, this was the kind of calm, reasonable discussion we should have heard about this topic years ago. Instead, "news" networks feel compelled to showcase screaming idiots trying to see who can yell the loudest and interrupt the most.

“Stewart looked and sounded confused and lost, Woo looked and sounded like a seasoned and capable attorney...”

Given that Stewart is dumb as a post, it is comforting to know that, according to surveys, a huge number of people (espeically young people) get their “news” from Jon Stewart. /s/

‘Pnwned’ is an alternate spelling to ‘owned’, based on a famous typo...
