I heard Martha Radditz on Fresh Air today, talking about Iraq. She said when al Sadr launched his insurgency in Sadr City in 2004, he used the tactic of putting children in the first row of the attack, then old people in the second row, then Mahdi gunmen shooting from behind. Thus they gained some extra time, since the American soldiers waited to shoot until the very last moment when they had to shoot no matter what; it was kill or be killed.

Did you hear anybody report this in 2004?
