Effective student protesting?

Often it seems that protests suffer from a debilitating set of constraints. Many times they are fueled by nothing but a reactionary gut feeling and an urge to rebel. As a result they seem juvenile and unconvincing. But with that said, credit is due where it is deserved, and today at the Georgetown Law School a group of protesters effective conveyed a nuanced yet blunt position on the NSA wiretaps as Attorney General Alberto Gonzales defended them.

I can only hope that their white sheet with Ben Franklin's famous quote, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither," ends up making news in more places than the internet.

Much like the Abramoff scandal, the only thing threatening the prospect of change is the public's attention span.
