Human Shields

There are a number of voluntary Human Shields currently in and around Baghdad who are putting themselves between installations vital to civillian life, (water treatment plants, sanitation plants, hospitals etc.) and the soon to be dropped coalition bombs.

Brave and courageous or misguided and naive?

erm no they arent, they left last week. They were fannying about and Saddam said to them "go to this place, this place and this place" they refused and left. Apparantly the places chosen are the first targets of USA, they thought it was "too dangerous"
