That you may like to turn on your TV sets, since this was a story of some significance.

If it's possible to posthumously try these idiots for treason, I say we do so. The evidence couldn't be more clear - they died in the act of lending aid and comfort to the enemy.

[Centurion2000]

Oops .... well maybe human shields will get the idea that they are in fact NOT.

Say Hey,

The old line goes like this
"KILL'EM ALL AND LET THE LORD SORT THEM OUT."

tight lines

[FreeTheHostages]

Whatever the Iraqi minister says, I believe the opposite is true

BTTT

[twigs]

Rokadia would serve the children of Iraq a lot more by importing toys to them. I think they would be delighted.

[Solson]

I believe this is what Centcom and the Pentagon referred to as "Targets of Opportunity"

[neutrino]

LOL! That's a classic!

"Whatever the Iraqi minister says, I believe the opposite is true"

Whatever the KorruptKlintonKlan says, I believe the opposite is true...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"human shields bombed by US aircraft"

Not very good shields, imho...mud

[Michael Barnes]

Shot or bombed? Which is it?

Can't say that it matters, just so long as the gene pool is cleansed.

These morons do not know they are doing us a favor by congregating in one spot. Bring more over. Only 4000? Get about 10000 of these monkeys to Iraq and make our use of ordinance much more efficient.

[valkyrieanne]

You hang out in a war zone, you might get shot. It's pretty obvious.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I trust the US military and their spokespeople on this much more than I trust that Iraqi spokesman before the cameras in Baghdad each a.m.

My guess how this was played out?

Theorizing here, the Iraqi forces located a carload of human shields in Iraq, Americans or other Westerners, and they then either mortared it, or they came up to it and strafed it with machine gun fire, executing them. They fled the scene and now blame it on the Americans.

ANY Western 'human shield' in totalitarian/terrorist Iraq at this point must begin to feel very vulnerable, if in fact they have come to their senses. One can only suspect if they got away from their government handlers long enough, they picked up the same hushed whispers of terror by the average Iraqi that pastor Ken Joseph picked up and which caused him to get out while he could.

For it is still my prediction before this thing is over, they will either execute the human shields and say the Americans did it (with graphic footage of the bodies) or they will place them at military targets where they will be blown to bits. Same goes for their treatment of leftist affiliated journalists, so called 'indies' like May Ying Welch, whose lives are at risk by the Iraqi secret police/Republican guards/Hussein Fedayhin

"Losers at life....losers at being human shields."

Hey, man, where's the love?

(snort)

[RetiredArmy]

They should have signaled for a fair catch.

[EvilOverlord]

Of course that couldn't be related to this, could it?

Iraq says Islamic martyrdom-seekers flock to the country to carry out suicide attacks.

Oh, you mean as in "Please stop blowing up our buses filled with martyrs. You're killing Americans! Yeah, that's it....Americans."

So sorry.

From BeliefNet.com's diary of a human shield:

Human shield diary

(The human shields were expelled March 29, but some decided to stay anyway)

Kindy reported that the nine members of CPT who remain in Baghdad are continuing their ministry, which includes visiting hospitals, clinics, orphanages, churches and mosques.

Since the war's outbreak, the team has paid visits to families in about 10 different neighborhoods whose homes were bombed--including a young man, just married, whose wife was decapitated by a missile strike on their wedding night.

CPT lost direct phone and e-mail communication with the Baghdad team two days ago when U.S. bombs destroyed a major Iraqi communications facility.

According to Kindy, some of the group in Amman plan to remain to provide support for team members who remain in Baghdad--Jim Douglas of Birmingham, Ala., David Havard of Sheffield, England; Scott Kerr of Downers Grove, Ill., Jerry & Sis Levin of Birmingham, Ala., Sean O’Sullivan of Los Angeles; Lisa Martens of Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Stewart Vriesinga of Lucknow, Ontario.

It's not that we go to foreign lands to do it, their children enroll in our colleges which are dominated by leftists. They learn to hate America HERE, while studying nuclear physics and chemical engineering.
