As the coalition bombs drop across Iraq, many anti-war protesters from around the world seeking to serve as human shields for the Iraqi people find themselves caught in the crossfire.
The London Independent reports a British human shield has not been heard from since the initial bombing last week. Leo Warren, 44, from Feltwell, Norfolk, is one of seven British human shields believed to be still in Iraq.
In his last e-mail to family hours prior to the initial "decapitation" airstrikes, Warren raised concerns that he and other members of the group were being manipulated by the Iraqi government.

"Perhaps the most crushing thing we learned was that most ordinary Iraqis thought Saddam Hussein had paid us to come to protest in Iraq," he added." Perhaps some of them at least see now how they look. Those who actually are ideological pacifists probably ARE totally surprised by the realization that Saddam is a monster, and that their perception of him, as well as of the Iraqi people, has been seriously flawed. I hope they spread the word.

I feel more pity for the poor schleps in the Iraqi army that just want to surrender then I could ever feel for such sanctimonious asses like these twits. I wouldn't allow the use of Western civilians as shields to deter targeting priorities for any amount. The final bill for pussy-footing around with all of this will be paid in allied troopers lives. Better the longhairs get splattered than one troop.

"When you put yourself in a position where you end up getting shot at by both sides, are you still technically in a crossfire?" Actually, I think that officially makes you an idiot! Actually, it likely makes you a dead idiot.

Nowakowski said his trip taught him that "things were a lot more complicated than they seemed in a lot of ways." Why do we always have the "doubting Thomases"? I don't understand why some people JUST HAVE TO see it to believe it's true. Thanks for your post.

Just a note - thanks for your service in Korea and Vietnam and thanks for continuing the fight against the anti-American crowd in the US.
