I wonder if Iran would even let them in the country. Wouldn’t this be the perfect way for us to sneak in CIA agents?

The Human Shield Movement has announced it reached its 10,000th pledge member. The lucky guy to sign on as a Human Shield Volunteer number ten thousand is Steven Morris from Birmingham. Morris has pledged to use his body as a “human shield” against an “attack on Iran” from “neo-con” President Bush.

Volunteers from 22 countries not from Iran have pledged to travel to the Middle Eastern country at a moment’s notice to place their “human shields” or in simpler terms, their bodies in front of civilian infrastructure in Iran in order to “prevent what they believe would be a catastrophic and unjustified attack” from the “warmonger” President Bush.
While we believe if there were to be such an attack it would be catastrophic, especially for the Human Shields, we’re not so sure it would be unjustified. We wondered if each of the Shields will be assigned large bold numbers for identification purposes if their worst case scenario is confirmed. We suggest each Human Shield also receive a form to fill out for future Honorary Darwin Awards.

Would we even telegraph our move that far in advance to get the whole 10,000 there in time?
