Please. My side is splitting.
"We always understood that human shield meant a shield of humans and that we would be allowed to work with Iraqi civilians. Why it is (sic) being interpreted differently now?"
It’s all in the emphasis:
HUMAN shields (shields made of humans) vs. human SHIELDS (shields for humans).
It helps to find out the exact meaning before you leave. Ha.Ha.Ha.

Now, if you were a sentient piece of mahogany, it might be harder to understand the difference.
