DOES ANYONE EDIT REUTERS?:
Human shields struggling in Iraq (Christine Hauser, March 4, 2003, Reuters)Last month [Ryan] Clancy was among about 50 Western anti-war activists who rode on red double-decker buses to Baghdad after an overland trip that started at London's Tower Bridge.They hoped to avert a U.S.-led war by putting a human face on the potential civilian casualties by positioning themselves in communities and at hospitals and schools.
I'm confused: why wouldn't the Iraqi civilians have human faces? Posted by Orrin Judd at March 4, 2003 5:28 PM

Because brown people aren't human.
