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.

hmmm ... ya think? ... lucky for him he wasn't standing next to Saddam's palace ... standing under bombs is not a wise thing to do ... especially for a ruthless dictator like Saddam ... but, apparently, there will always be useful idiots ...

Sadaam and the Iraqi people are innocent victims of American aggression. They would never intentionally place the human shields in harms way for their own purposes.

I wonder if any of them will have a Robert Fisk-style "They didn't kick me hard enough" moment.

Oh the humanity! The human shields so arrogantly offer their bodies to protect Hussein. OOPSIE! How ironic would it be to be caught in a crossfire from Iraqi citizens who want HUSSEIN dead and anyone who stands in their way! LOL!

I wonder if his family could be called upon to release that e-mail ? - It might help prevent others from following the same path.

Well, you can rest assured that Warren wasn't de-capitated in the 'de-captitation' strikes, because you first must have capitations to be de-capitated.
To: LayoutGuru2
How many "U"s in DUH?! Variable, depending on how much of a duh.
BTW, there's a special case, which means infinite duh-ness: DU.

FReepers please help me with this nagging question. When you put yourself in a position where you end up getting shot at by both sides, are you still technically in a crossfire?

I have to wonder what sort of mental breakdown one would have to go through to act so foolishly. I'm not a shrink (I don't even play one on tv), but I am wondering if this is similar to the so-called "Stockholm Syndrome." The difference is that people SEEK to become hostages so they can identify with their captors. Why? Do these people feel like failures and they have a chance to feel powerful by doing grandiose, dangerous stunts for Saddam? Maybe identifying with a bully gives them a vicarious sense of power. Maybe they wish they were made of serner stuff so that they, too, could be bullies. Failing that, they are satisfied to enable bullies. That and the ideal of Christian love has been perverted into a mawkish humanitarianism whereby one gains moral merit to the extent one offers "love" to those who don't deserve it. This then feeds into moral relativism by making the very lack of goodness into a value that one must sacrifice to. Thus in the name of "love," goodness must be anihilated by evil, while evil becomes its own justification. This mixture of nihilism and "love" is indeed an ugly spectacle.

I thought the whole idea of being a human shield was to die. Guess I missed something. In his last email to family, Leo "Jar Jar Binks" Warren was heard to exclaim "somebody might die?"
