Just saw this on channel 11's 12:00 newscast: A bunch of the voluntary human shields are leaving Iraq because Saddam Hussein had the audacity to send them to... wait for it... military targets!
They thought Saddam would send them to apartments and hospitals instead (well, some of them might be of the "hospital with anti-aircraft battery on the roof" variety, but still). What on earth did they think "human shields" were used for?
(Sigh.) No wonder everyone thinks Americans are a bunch of idiots.
