CNN's Nic Robertson, reporting from Jordan, said that the neighborhoods near Baghdad International Airport were being cleared out by the Republican Guard & fedayeen so they can take up positions there for an attack on the airport.

My only skepticism is whether the people were being moved out of their homes. It would make our bombing of the area harder if they had human shields.

1) How does he know this from Jordan, and

2) I thought we controlled a perimeter that went beyond the confines of the airport.

I don't believe this....when did they start caring about killing anybody, much less their own?
