Ok something slightly confuses me about that article. Those people intentionally went to Baghdad to act as human shields, but returned home out of fears for their safety....huh?

Paul,

I don't think you are confused, the "human shields" are the ones confused.

"Pearl Harbor", since it's a place name. Although I'm sure it's just the yahoo uk spell checker at work.

What's funny about that story is I just watched a congressional rep from Hawaii bragging this weekend about how they didn't have the terrorism worries of the mainland.

They didn't want to be human shields for something that might actually get bombed Cool

I also read some were leaving because they were being used for propaganda purposes by the Iraqis. The shock!

Those mopes were their own worst enemies and I don't think did any good for their cause.

Harbor (US spelling) as opposed to Harbour (UK spelling). If the article was talking about "the harbour" it would be correct, but not for the proper name of the city & naval base.

It should also be "World Trade Center" not "World Trade Centre" for the same reasons.
