What they did not count on - and until the very last hours, refused to believe - was that their whole trip may have been planned by the Iraqi government.

Gee, what was their first clue?

Morons...they should all be held hostage and executed in Iraq. That would teach the pacifists a good lesson...

LOL! Do you think any peaceniks here in the US will figure out that most of the peace marches were organized by groups funding the terrorists? Nah.....

"I don't trust these people any more. I don't think we are going to be allowed to do what we want. I was here to meet the children and ordinary Iraqis. I don't want to go to a power plant."

In other words ... I don't want to die.

Imagine that.

What a bunch of useful idiot dolts. At least this guy had the instincts to recognize what was going o\on and then the and the integrity admit it and to GET OUT while he could.

"I don't think we are going to be allowed to do what we want."
And he thought it was the Americans who were a greater threat? Welcome to life lived under a oppressive dictator!

Actor Martin Sheen addresses thousands of people opposed to a United States war with Iraq in downtown Los Angeles, January 11, 2003. Raising the specter of a return of Cold War McCarthyism, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) said a slew of hate-mail directed at actors who have taken a public personal stand against war, along with calls for boycotts of movies and albums on the nation's talk radio airwaves and Internet message boards, 'suggests that the lessons of history have, for some, fallen on deaf ears.'

When we crossed the border we were handed leaflets warning that we may be taken hostage by the government.

When our coach left Amman for the border last Monday, the human shields in our delegation were just starting to question the reality of entering Iraq. Some decided at the last minute not to go at all.

All the hotel and food bills were being paid for by the Iraqi Government. Our visas were processed in hours when for everyone else it was taking months, if at all.

The above says it all.

Most of the so called peaceniks have been financed by the Islamofacist thugs in America and around the world. So are most of our Rat senators in DC.

Part of the problem with the human shields is they don't seem to be very well organized. They need an effective organization in order to have any real success. To be effective, a group needs a catchy name -- preferrably one that forms a good acronym. For the human shield organization, I recommend:
Strategic Human Insertion Team: Fostering Obstruction, Resistance, & Barriers, Rejecting American Interests, & National Security.

They went into a blind panic. Nathan - who looked like he had not slept for days - bought a suit and hired a car, ready to make a break for the border.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Lets round Sheen and the rest of the Follywooders in lust for their cash cow, their Uncle Soddomite and replace the human shields with them.

If our guys don't get them, the freed Iraqis can try them for war crimes.
