Oregonian,

I'm with Wailuku on this. If you maintain the same position in your pretend example if the human shields are Americans instead of Iraqis, I'll at least give you credit for consistency, but not for valuing human life.

No spin, just what would you do. Your the commander on site, the insurgents are hiding behind American human shields and raining mortars on your men. There are 50 American human shields. You and your men numbered 20 and are down to 16. What cha' gonna' do?

Have a good time with this one.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
