Those idiots who are travelling to Iraq to be human shields *are* committing war crimes, by intentionally placing themselves in a war zone. Indeed, by aiding and abetting a war criminal, Saddam Hussein, they are not only accessories to war crimes, but there are in fact, enemy combatants.
Rubbish, and an insultingly broad generalisation (as usual). According to your statement, anyone who intentionally places himself in a war zone is a war criminal. Every Red Cross medic, every journalist, every photographer who goes into a war zone goes their *intentionally* (the intention being: to do their job). Following your reasoning, all of those brave people are war criminals and enemy combatants... :-(
P.S. Did anybody see the pictures of the accomodations these "human shields" are being furnished with by the Iraqi government?
Not me.
I have only one word for these clowns that accept plush accomodations like this from a government that is currently starving its impovershed people while building double-digit Presidential Palces: Hypocrites.
Speaking of hypocricy: how many millions of Americans are living at or even below the poverty line (and in many cases: live out on the street) while people in the US government and their buddies live in hugely expensive accomodations, enjoying an extremely pleasant annual income?
