I'm still in shock that the Seattle P-I would agree to print this guest op-ed. They have, over the years, shown utter contempt for patriots such as this writer - and certainly for the Commander-in-Chief.

Don't skim through this piece - it's very well done and important.

The "human shields" are too stupid to understand what they're doing.

I wanted to call you to this piece because it's really less about human shield idiots than it is about the brave men and women who are, in fact, shielding us daily.

Hope you are doing well, though I know you miss your son.

What these "human shields" fail or refuse to realize is the high potential of risk they not only put themselves in, but the very people they claim to protect and our troops as well. The Iraqi regime knows full well the tactical advantages these "shields" provide them. When pressed between dying in place or having a buffer to allow safe passage, shields will become hostages and U.S. troops will be placed in an extraordinary circumstance that may cause their own death. These people are either esoteric idiots,who will undoubtedly find out too late that the path to hell is paved with good intentions or avowed anti-American traitors hell bent on our failure.

"It is likely there will be no place more dangerous for the shields than among a newly liberated Iraqi populace, who will view them as pro-Saddam."

I had not thought of it that way!!!!!

Well, some of them must understand something. When they were told they were wanted to be human shields of military/industrial targets, they realized they could get killed, and left the country. They were not as committed as they thought they were.
