A figure of speech -- Marin County, Calif., from which American Taliban John Walker Lindh hails, can now claim to be the home of the most unusual anti-war demonstration to have occurred in the run-up to possible war with Saddam Hussein.
Wearing what organizers said was "nothing but afternoon rain," 50 women lay down au natural on Love Field last Tuesday to spell out the word "Peace" with their bodies. Organizers said the demonstration was an effort to ""show solidarity with the people of Iraq."
"Women from all ages and walks of life took off their clothes, not because they are exhibitionists but because they felt it was imperative to do so," organizers said, explaining that the women "wanted to unveil the truth about the horrors of war, to commune in their nudity with the vulnerability of Iraqi innocents, and to shock a seemingly indifferent Bush administration into paying attention."

In other words, "We need to show ourselves off via a really stupid gesture."

Either there were several sets of naked twins involved (not that this would be a bad thing) or we are being Photoshopped.
