Five young men wearing hoods and orange jumpsuits were arrested at Hunter College on Tuesday in a protest of conditions at the Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay detention camps.

Shouting "They're raping me! They're torturing me! Please do something! Don't just go to class," the five knelt on the floor with leashes around their necks, evoking photos of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib camp in Iraq, before being handcuffed and dragged away by campus police.

The protest in a third-floor student commons area of the Manhattan campus was part of an effort to drum up support for a nationwide day of protest against the war in Iraq on Nov. 2."If there isn't a movement that's resisting these outrages, this is not going to change," said Ati Lagos, an organizer of the protest, who said she was with an organization called The World Can't Wait.

1. way to go

get anyone to look, and think - just for a second.
These guys are spot on. Oh...and so much for free speech.
Every campus - every day. In shopping malls, on golf courses. Wherever the sheeple are "grazing". Put it in their faces. Make it so they cannot simply ignore it.

2. memories of the good old days!

I went to Hunter High back in the 60s, and remember the strike against the war... no sooner did the college students walk out, than we heard about it and joined the strike. Such sweet words -- "On Strike! Shut It Down!"

Glad to see some Hunterites getting some spunk back.
