>> What are you feelings about these militants and insurgents using civilians as human shields?

You mean deliberately like the Israelis do, grabbing someone and making him or her walk in front of them to shield them from the bullets as they went searching houses in that camp where they refused to allow the UN to investigate ?

I haven't heard anyone even make the claim in Iraq. I guess, you broke the story.

>> How about their stashing arms in schools, hospitals, and mosques?

The mosque in Fallujah was not spared, so I don't know what protection that would be. About schools and hospitals, without independent proof, I would say it is very doubtful that parents would allow schools to be used. And if they were, I think they would not allow their children to go. Regarding hospitals, it seems that would be silly, since they really can't mount a IED attack from a hospital.
