INTERNATIONAL ATLANTA: HUMAN SHIELDS: Ex-Marine's plan to protest Iraq war amounts to treason Larry Sampler - For the Journal-Constitution Monday, February 3, 2003

Ken Nichols O'Keefe, a former U.S. Marine, and his organization called "We the People" have decided they will travel by bus convoy to Iraq and place themselves in harm's way, ostensibly as human shields to prevent the United States from attacking.

Nichols was quoted as saying, "The potential for white Western body parts flying around with the Iraqi ones should make them think again about this imperialist oil war."

That is an inexcusably jingoistic and xenophobic statement, especially from someone who claims to represent "We the People."

To think that "white Western body parts" are somehow more sacred than innocents of other color or origin --- or to suggest that our government feels that way --- is crude and boorish and, it seems, completely in keeping with the intellectually amateurish nature of O'Keefe's mission and organization.

So, when a volunteer from New Zealand crows that "we are on the verge of something big," he can be forgiven for confusing "big" with "suicidal" or even "Darwinian" (in the context of the Darwin Awards, given to those who have chosen the most interesting and clever ways to remove themselves from the gene pool).
