NEW YORK -- Protesters are trying a nude way to stir interest in the antiwar movement.
When U.S. demonstrators hit the streets to rally against a a military conflict in Iraq, they often grumble that too few Americans take notice.
So one group opted for an eye-catching alternative.
Just after dawn Friday, roughly 30 women scurried into the heart of Central Park, splitting up into groups to avoid arousing police suspicion. Once they reached their destination, the Bethesda Fountain, they displayed their deep misgivings about war by disrobing amid a steady snowfall.
Lying down in shivering temperatures, the group of women -- students, executives and artists among them -- used their stark naked bodies to spell out the words "No Bush."
Confusing, was this a protest or a comment on their physical attributes?
