Subject: RE: BS: Human Shields
First, Guest Mike, I'm not sure what it is you want us to think of that list of sponsors for last week's demonstrations in Washington DC. Myself, I think it is a beautiful list!

As to the human shields, well. I don't know how many of you remember a program from the 1980s US wars against Central America, but there was a movement of "human shields" used to stand between the US funded Nicaraguan "contra" terrorists. The organization is called Witness for Peace, and they are still in business. Their website is here:
