painted a large sign bearing the human shield emblem on its roof, to alert fighter pilots to their presence.

They ask for trouble by being there, and then put up signs saying "dont trouble us" ? Hmmm...the logic beats me.

I wonder if the human shields have given any though to protecting the Iraqi populace from Saddam's sadism?

Saddam will have killed a lot more of his own countrymen in the last few years than an Iraqi invasion will ever hope to. Where were the human shields then, when they were really needed?
