You watch, just watch! If none of the "human shield" sites are targeted, some dumbass human shield will think their presence prevented the bombing.

Actually overheard inside a B52:
"It's a misguided hippie! Let's not bomb that site."

The people who become human shields, I suspect, are drawn from the same pool of people who would marry some condemned man on death row. Disconnected from the obvious downside risk.

A little unhinged, I'd say.

The number of human shields in and around Baghdad peaked at around 200 in mid March but fell to about 120 once war broke out and activists left Iraq to avoid being bombed.

I'm missing something here...

Human shield vs Megabomb = No contest! Try parachuting without a parachute. I wonder exactly what they are rebelling against.

I went to O'Keefe's website. He is still directing operations from the safety of Jordan. They have an online form that you can fill out, saying you want to join. The only problem is the departure dates are all for February. I cannot imagine why they are not taking new recruits for the month of March and April. :)

I hope to see the newly freed Iraqis string these clowns up and use them as pinatas.
