"We painted a huge sign on the roof saying human shields, so when any planes bombed the target, they'd see they were killing us -- Englishmen and Finns and Turks".

I hope they write large enough for the planes to see from 30 000 feet up, and/or the missles can read the signs.

I have a bunch of friends who are serving in the corp. and are over there right now. Before they left, we talked about the human shield thing. Every marine I talked to, said they would shoot at them. They consider them traitors. The other feeling was, there isn't going to be a real penalty. What military jury (if there was even a court martial, which is doubtfull) would ever convict them? You would never find 12 marines in the world, who would vote to convict a fellow marine for killing somone they think is a traitor. My guess is, if the air force sees those human shield "bulls eyes", they're going to hit them.
