Hooded protest against wiretaps.

[Dr.Phool]

(CNN) -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had trouble tapping into a group of hooded protesters at Georgetown Law School in Washington on Tuesday.

The university was one of the stops on Gonzales' circuit as he attempts to diffuse criticism of the National Security Agency's domestic spying program.

But as the attorney general tried to convey that the extraordinary circumstances of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks justified the program, the protesters turned to one of America's founding fathers for their rebuttal.

9. Perhaps Because They Were "Hooded"

What's the significance in the protesters wearing "hoodies" - very popular among the youngsters, keeps your head and ears warm.

By saying they were "hooded" - portrays something nefarious about these folks.

12. hooded- NOT hoodies- I 1st thought the same thing.

I first thought it meant black hoodies- as in eminem's vido from Nov 04...But, they were Hood-ed- as in tortured abu gharib prisoners.

10. Good

It's very encouraging to see students protesting the crimes of this administration.

Gonzalez is a nazi-fuck who deserves ever bit of protest and criticism....
along with the whole crooked gang of reichwing thugs and crooks.
May they all be deservedly jailed ... for very long periods of time
(with very scary mean cellmates with enormous appetites for chickenhawk).
