Dimwit Human Shields Start To Suspect They're Being Used March 7, 2003 -- BAGHDAD, Iraq - Western peaceniks hoping to be "human shields" at Iraqi hospitals and schools have soured on the idea after officials stationed them at power plants. The dispute prompted Iraqi officials yesterday to boot five would-be "shields" from the country. Former U.S. Marine Ken O'Keefe, one of those ordered out by today, said it was "absolutely unacceptable that human shields would arrive and immediately be taken to sites without our knowledge." O'Keefe, whose Human Shield Action Iraq group coordinated the departure of dozens of volunteers from London six weeks ago, said the Iraqis' decision would cause many other human shields to leave Baghdad, too. "It's just a shame that there may be Iraqi lives that could be lost as a result of numbers diminishing," he said. [The Iraqi government doesn't give a shit, you dope!] The dispute erupted at a meeting in Baghdad between 100 "shields" and senior Iraqi official Abdul-Razzaq al-Hashimi. Hashimi accused the picky peaceniks of undermining the other volunteers' "noble and courageous" spirit. nypost.com
