There’s something about the incongruity of saffron-robed monks and black-suited lawyers protesting in the streets that gets you to think that there’s something really worth fighting for.
Whatever jokes comedians crack about the legal profession, these attorneys are risking their lives and freedoms to protest Musharraf’s declaration of emergency rule and dismissal of Pakistan’s chief justice.
I wonder if their brethren attorneys here in the United States would ever take such courageous stands on injustice in Guantanimo and warrantless wiretapping.
