Georgetown Law students turn their backs to Gonzales speech.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1537181
"Confronting Gonzales during his nearly half-hour speech were more than a dozen young people in the audience who turned their backs to him and held up for a banner for television cameras. The banner, loosely based on a Benjamin Franklin quote, read: "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither." "
He tries among other things to cite past wartime surveillance and equate detention with surveillance. I think he makes a bad argument but please watch the speech yourself.

It may have moved to page two or three by the time you check this. Video runtime 16:38 shows some students facing away Gonzales and a corner of the banner. Runtime 34:09 shows rear shot of students with banner and pans to other students with back to Gonzales. Runtime 35:00 shows police officer entering room. Runtime 35:30 shows officer escorting the banner holders out of the room. A panel discussion follows but Gonzales, having left after the speech, answers no questions.
and further news I am behind in classes but with a book read today and a 3 page tomorrow would be back on track.
edit: after gonzales leaves the panel rips his argument to shreds.
