Antiwar protesters go topless in Union Square

A dozen antiwar activists from Mendocino County took their tops off in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district Thursday, using what they said was their best weapon to get the public's attention.
The topless protest drew gawks and stares from passersby, some of whom couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Whoa, get out your cameras and cover your children's eyes," said the driver of a motorized cable car packed with tourists, as he pulled to a stop in front of Macy's.
Members of the au naturale contingent Breasts Not Bombs said the war is indecent, not their nakedness. "Boobies never hurt anyone," said Sherry Glaser. But after more than two years at war, the public has become desensitized to protests, they said. So if they have to show a little skin to get attention, so be it.
