Yoo Two and Three and Four

Prof. Baughman offers his analysis of the Yoo memo from a poli sci perspective (here, here, and here, respectively). As I said earlier, I have not had the time yet to thoroughly read the memo, the newsweek story, or commentaries on the issue to write anything substantive. But suffice it to say, from what I've gathered so far, it really sounds like Yoo's memo can serve as a case study for the confirmation bias.

I enjoy the blog, but please read this quote and see if it doesn't ironically illustrate what "confirmation bias" is:
