Civil rights and civil protesters

UPDATE / 10:14 a.m.: Cindy Sheehan is among the protesters in the crowd, who have so far stayed quiet.\ \ The Code Pink protesters are out in force this morning at the hearing for Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales before the Senate Judiciary Committee. \ \ Some of the women are wearing orange jumpsuits. Others are wearing all pink. One woman is wearing a sign that says, “Arrest Gonzales.”\ \ Another, wearing an orange jumpsuit and a small patch that read, “I miss habeas corpus,” offered polite “hellos” to reporters and others milling around before the hearing started. \ \ — Jon Ward, White House correspondent, The Washington Times
