"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 being interpreted differently now?"

It's not being interpreted differently. "Human shield" refers to a shield MADE of humans, and it always has. You guys are the ones who decided it meant something else. Suckers.

This is to much...

Not all the sites were as welcoming. Daniel Pepper, a 22-year-old student from Pennsylvania, was not fooled by the oil refinery, despite the comfortable beds with parcels of goodies laid out on the pillows. "The people staying there sleep 50 yards from stacks billowing black smoke." he said. "And it's sinister: 20 minders are there for eight shields. There are three security gates, including one manned by plain-clothed guards carrying AK47s. Most shields want to get out of there and go to the granary.

LOLOLOL!!!!

Anyone who would support a liar who debates what "the meaning of is...is" cannot be expected to know that "human shields" means shields made out of humans and not shields FOR humans. These people are so lost.
