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.

So true. And don't miss the author's point about these folks being dead meat at the hands of freed Iraqis who will correctly identify them as traitors.
