[Nevermore]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a situation in which a 3-year-old girl would be considered a "prisoner."

In a Western mind-set, that's certainly understandable: we wouldn't hide behind our women and children during combat, or strap bombs on them and push them out the door as weapons. These scum wouldn't give it a second thought.

If you are suggesting that these particular dead civilians were being used as human shields, I'd appreciate a reference to even the tiniest scintilla of evidence to that effect.

The same Anti-war agitators on FR always raise their hands.

Ignore them, the evil Bush and the evil soldiers will ALWAYS be wrong, corrupt, criminal, ect.
