Families forced at gunpoint to stay home, ‘Human shields’ get treatment

The term 'Human shields' in this article does not refer to those non-Iraqis who volunteered for such duty but rather Iraqi civilians forced by the Fedayeen to perform that function. Many of them were killed; others were wounded and ended up in a US military field hospital in Tallil, where they told their stories.

Ah but the left just loves human shields. They feel it proves their point about how horrible the US was in killing civilians,.When they show these civilians in hospital or dead in the road gutter they point the finger in the wrong direction..
