When you read this NYT piece about our buddy Prof. Yoo, do you get the feeling that the Bush people too often look to political appointees or troll around for anyone (ie. junior Justice Department lawyer) who's willing to give them some sort of ideological justification for their actions?  

Now, is it a coincidence this is more likely to happen after a number of other more senior lawyers from other parts of the executive branch tell them they're nuts?
