I sincerely hope they succeed.

protesting torture instead of the usual soaring rhetoric excusing it.

In the International House on the other side of Piedmont. Used to be you had to walk all the way to Sproul Plaza about half a mile further at least for a good protest (or a bad one), now they're (appropriately) coming up the hill. They're quite out of their usual neighborhood. I'd have shaken my fist a few times while passing by.

I *feel* like saying that, in general, Cal students didn't mix with the locals when it came to politics (as of 2002), but I realize that would be unfair to the students. Having attended a small liberal arts college on the East Coast for grad school, I realize now what apathy truly is. The Berkeley student body is raucous compared to most, but still sedentary compared to the Berkeley locals.

Fired Arrested.
