Me too. I was half-expecting to see pictures of British people duct-taped to tanks.

Well, there's apparently twenty of them still there. That's enough to cover the mobile Scud launchers.

AHAHAHAA! Man are those people idiots. They shouldn't be allowed back into the country (where they came from, I mean).

So they're going home. No Darwin Awards for them, then.

What are the chances that they would be tried for treason after coming home? Did they go back because they didn't want ot be harmed, or because they had a change of heart?

Nice way to wake up...see that morons realizing they could get killed...run.

Guess their brains cells had their collision for the month.

It's treason by any definition of the word, but they won't get tried for it because the longhairs will never shut up if they are, and fun as that would be to watch, Bush and Blair don't need any more bad publicity.

They probably had a couple reasons for going back. The first seems to be that they wanted to be human shields at orphanages and hospitals and the like, and the Iraqis, propaganda aside, realized there was no point putting them there because we wouldn't deliberately target those sites anyway. So the Iraqis have been moving them to industrial targets like power plants, which technically aren't military but aren't filled with babies, either. And the human shields didn't like this because they thought it was a prelude to being used to defend military targets. In the meantime, I think they all realized that nobody was going to call off the war because they were there, and they were being pulled out of "safe" targets like hospitals and moved into targets with giant bulls-eyes painted on them.

So in other words, they finally figured out what "human shield" actually means

I hope none of them are Americans. If so they'll be let back in and hailed as anti war heros. Fuck, I've got an idea for thier traitorous scum. Some rope and pickup truck.

Well, I never held those people in high regard, but now I can safely say that they are a bunch of loud-mouthed hypocrytical assholes.

That done, I'm going back to mourning Marcus after watching "Endgame". A fictional character deserves more attention than those "human shields"

Heh, most of these ones were British.

It almost makes me ashamed of my nationality...but at least these morons are generally in the minority.

There was another article on that page, which some of you may have missed, take a look here

It's almost funny, but I find something irritating about the way the Italian woman assumes her dog doesn't mind being bombed....

Maybe a little ironic coming from an APAF member, but still....

I agree.

Looks like to me that these people just wanted some attention and pretending to be human shields was their dumb way to do it.

Their leadership was interviewed on Fox last night and they admittted that they never intended to stay there for the war but more to draw attention to the plight of the war. Sounds to me like some MAJOR backpedalling on their part. They claimed that since there were never enough volunteers (Ah, at least there is some glimmer of hope for those who don't believe that man in general is pretty fucking stupid) so they decided to back down. What a bunch of fucking assholes!!!

This is too precious, their passports or travel papers should be revoked and they should be forced to either stay there or try to walk their asses home, those little bastards.

And I can't help thinking they we have also seen the mask of hyposcrisy in the modern day peace movement slip off just a little and see it for what it it really is....

I don`t think he`ll ever be executed because the bleeding hearts and amnesty international would say traitors have rights.

"Human shields return home for personal safety!"

When I heard that on Fox News, I had to leave the room before laughing my ass off.

I guess all those bombs that had "Shield Saddam from THIS!!!" written on them will have to be cleaned and redecorated. What a shame.

It is realy too bad they left, as the cleansing breath of plasma would kiss them oh so gently.

By the way, did anyone remember, that the original "Human Shields" were KIDNAPP VICTIMS, and that poor little frightened boy? ("Are you getting enough milk son? Here, sit on my lap.") That was a PR fiasco if ever there was one!

It is a testament to the historical ignorance of the left, that they would choose the term "Human Shield", given the Iraqi past. Perhaps even a moral fruedian slip, confusing the tyrant with the victims, the peaceful with the truly warlike.

I hate to bring this up, but he really can't be tried as a traitor. Its been proven that though he was offered the chance to fight against the US he turned it down, preferring to fight against the Northern Alliance.

You can try him possibly under some obscure anti-mercenary law, but not as a traitor as he didn't fight against his own nation.

Really? I hadn't heard about that. Regardless, though, they'll still get him for aiding the enemy, I think.
