Fantastic News Alert!!!!!!
WorldNetDaily has the story:
Winnie Mandela to be 'human shield'

Nelson's ex-wife, convicted of helping murder child, wants to protect Iraqi kids

Winnie Mandela, ex-wife of South Africa's former leader Nelson Mandela - and long known for her open advocacy of torturing rivals, as well as for her 1991 conviction for being an accessory to the brutal murder of a 14-year-old boy - wants to travel to Iraq to become a "human shield" so she can protect Iraqi children from American attacks, according to the South African Press Association.
And News24 (SA) reports:
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has suggested that not only should African National Women's League president Winnie Madikizela-Mandela be used as a human shield in Iraq - she should move there permanently.

DA chief whip Douglas Gibson said in a statement today - in reaction to a suggestion on Tuesday by Madikizela-Mandela that she travel to Iraq as a human shield: "I challenge Mrs Winnie Madikizela-Mandela to live up to her offer to travel to Iraq as a human shield. She has become a stranger to the corridors of parliament and she will not be missed. Perhaps she should resign and move permanently to Iraq."
Winnie, after you make the obligatory fun tour of Uday's dungeons, please keep us posted on the exact location you are shielding!

Paging Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark, and Jimmy Carter! You aren't going to let ole Winnie put you to shame, are ya?
