I would not doubt these weren't human shields. They were militants on their way from Jordan. If they were human shields they were executed by the Iraqis. But, it looks like only the Arabs Nations are "concerned" about our barbarism. Seems Saddam went too far this time.
And we'd better stop playing nice. We're going to have to kill some civilians or we'll prolong this war and cost even more lives on both sides. As Saddam's hero, Stalin, said, "If you're going to make an omelet you're gonna' have to break some eggs."
