Subject: BS: Human shields escape to Jordan
Just a little light reading.
A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers
                made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government
                minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI
                the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera "told me they would
                commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain
                their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of
                which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow
                torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they
                could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."
