I forgot to mention this last week. So, you no doubt have heard of the anti-war protesters who are going to Iraq to act as human shields to attempt to stop the US from attacking. Well, it seems the Iraqi government is telling these folks where they can and can’t go to carry out the business of being a human shield. Seems the government would prefer that they shield strategic targets (military bases, power plants, etc) instead of innocent civilians. And it seems the human shields don’t like the Iraqi government telling them what to do, so they’re packing their bags and leaving.
