entirely possible ... although why there would be 'human shields' on busloads full of wannabe fighters is an interesting question.

I, quite frankly, believe virtually nothing that the Iraqi (dis)information minister says ... and will wait until we get something out of Qatar.

But if I HAD to bet on the likely scenario, I'd blame the Baathists for attacking the busses.

I'm implying that they were not human shields at all but rather they were Iraqi's who were coming from Amman to fight for Saddam. If they were human shields it's a 50/50 proposition that they were killed by Saddam's forces or ours. Doesn't matter, because the bottomline is that if they were human shields or they were Iraqi's going to fight for Saddam, I am not the least bit upset that they are dead.
