Human Shields in Iraq

An interesting thought--
There were a bunch of folks who were clamoring to be "human shields" around certain targets in Iraq before the US invasion. The idea, I suppose, would be that Americans would hesitate to attack or bomb certain buildings or targets, knowing that innocents would be killed.

Would they volunteer to be "human shields" around voting booths in Iraq at the moment? The idea, I suppose, would be that Insurgents/Terrorists would hesitate to attack or bomb certain buildings or targets, knowing that innocents would be killed.

So...anybody heard of people heading over to Iraq to become human shields in the name of freedom, liberty and democracy? (I nominate Michael Moore--a guy his size ought to be able to cover a couple voting booths and absorb a rocket or two without any problems.)

The resounding silence says volumes.
