Human Shields in Danger
Here are a group of "human shields" standing next to their "London to Baghdad" bus. We have followed their journey, but this is the first photo I've seen of them. I didn't realize they had t-shirts. Maybe when their "Human Shield" t-shirts go in the wash, they can get some of those "Saddam Hussein--We Support of You" t-shirts from the Indonesian vendor in yesterday's post.
General Tommy Franks said that the U.S. Army "can not guarantee the safety of civilians who deliberately position themselves as human shields against attack on Iraqi targets." Well, I should hope not. If we could guarantee their safety, they wouldn't be much use as shields, would they?
