Alberto Gonzales spoke to law students at Georgetown University yesterday and they showed him how much they liked him by by getting up from their seats and turning their backs to him.

On Tuesday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appeared at Georgetown Law School to deliver an address defending the NSA domestic spy programs. During the course of his address, nearly 30 students stood up one-by-one and turned their back on Gonzales in protest. A panel of law professors addressed Gonzales’ speech, calling it illegal.

During Gonzales' speech, the protesting students stayed standing throughout the speech. Five students stood up and wore black hoods reminiscent of ones used at Abu Ghraib. The hooded students held a banner reading the words of Benjamin Franklin: “Those who would sacrifice liberties in the name of security deserve neither.” Third-year law student Devon Chaffee, said later, “We believe that as law students, we must stand up for the rule of law over the creation of a culture of fear.”

The Gonzales speech comes as part of a coordinated effort by the Bush administration to increase public support for the domestic surveillance program and to try to justify illegal, unauthorized surveillance of US citizens.
