BBC Interview Out-of-Work Human Shield

The BBC have found themselves a leftist moonbat to play with. Her name is Peggy Gish, and she's been wailing about the plight of terrorists in Iraq:

'We heard about very violent house raids in the middle of the night, in which US soldiers would storm in, and if the men did not get down immediately, they would knock them down and beat them.
Then their house would be ransacked, often with property damage.'

In Gish-world, of course, U.S. forces would knock politely on the doors of known terrorists, then wait smilingly outside until, (a) Invited inside for a cup of tea and a chat about the insurgency, or, (b) Have their faces blown off by a gunman hiding upstairs.
Faced with an enemy who stack armaments in mosques, refuse to wear uniforms, execute innocent civilians, pretend to surrender before opening fire on troops and, frankly, break every rule of war in existence, we'd say U.S. forces are acting very sensibly in making these arrests in the way they do.

Maybe Gish herself senses that complaints about using force to collar armed Islamic crazies isn't likely to win her much sympathy. Accordingly, she moves on to do some weeping and wringing of hands over the fate of the head-hackers already in U.S. custody:

' … we began to hear stories of a very violent interrogation process. Men would report being kept in very painful positions for hours at a time, being deprived of sleep and water and food, some kept out in the hot summer sun for hours.
We also heard about sexual abuse and beatings when they were being questioned. If they did not give information about an explosion or something they would be knocked down, kicked in the groin, and hurt in other ways.
These men were held in Abu Ghraib and in prisons across the country. We think it is better since the Abu Ghraib scandal - we are not hearing the stories of overt sexual abuse - but people are still being humiliated and there is still a lot of physical brutality.'

And Gish's conclusion?

'They say it is rather like life under Saddam Hussein. Many Iraqis use an Arabic expression, "Same donkey, different saddle".'

There have been some improvements, of course. Among the little things that Gish and her Islamonazi friends fail to mention are: The free and democratic elections to be held on January 30th, the closure of the rape rooms, the marked absence of any new mass graves, and the fact that Kurds can draw breath without worrying they might be sucking up a lungful of mustard gas.
So here's a question: Is Gish merely gullible, or is she actively collaborating with our enemies in a time of war?

And while we're on the subject of that fine line between gullibility and collaboration, we'd also like to know why the BBC are passing Gish off as some kind of respected aid worker. Because we remember her in a previous incarnation:

'I’ve had to tenderly struggle with those feelings [wanting to go home], accept them and put them before God, in God’s hands,” Gish said. “Not to focus on my risking death, or focus on my taking a chance dying, but focus in the sense that I want to follow the lead I’m given by God. I’m not choosing death; I’m choosing life, the call to be free.'

That was back in the good old days of Saddam's regime, when Gish was doing her barmy bit for 'freedom' by acting as a human shield.
