John Choon Yoo (born July 10, 1967)〔''Contemporary Authors Online'', Thomson Gale, 2008.〕 is a Korean-American attorney, law professor, and author. He served as a political appointee, the Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel, Department of Justice (OLC), during the George W. Bush administration. He is best known for his opinions concerning the Geneva Conventions that legitimized the War on Terror by the United States. He also authored the so-called Torture Memos, which concerned the use of what the Central Intelligence Agency called enhanced interrogation techniques including waterboarding. In 2009, two days after taking office, President Barack Obama in Executive Order 13491 repudiated and revoked all legal guidance on interrogation authored by Yoo and his successors in the Office of Legal Counsel between September 11, 2001, and January 20, 2009. Yoo is currently the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley.〔 ==Early life, education, and personal life== John Yoo was born "Yu Choon" (Korean: ''Yu Jun'' ) on July 10, 1967 in Seoul, South Korea, and later immigrated as a child with his parents to the United States.
