Kudos to Georgetown Law School Students
Alberto Gonzales, he of the infamous torture memos, showed up at Georgetown University's Law School to justify the U.S. govt's surveillance of U.S. citizens. He didn't quite expect what came next. Some students got up, turned their backs to him while some others held up a banner with a simple message from Ben Franklin. I think the picture says everything that needs to be said. Now, if only more people could be as ballsy as these law students. In the meanwhile, I suspect that this surveillance business is going to backfire on the administration pretty badly, especially as the real significance of this move becomes increasingly clear to a wider swathe of Americans.
