Two thirds of the 621 children (two thirds under 15 years) killed at checkpoints, in the street, on the way to school, in their homes, ...

Hostages to captives: Why some 'civilians'
may be fair game The kidnapping of the director of Care International in Iraq has fuelled a debate over the legitimacy of taking hostages and killing captives.
For British Prime Minister Tony Blair, abducting 60-year-old aid worker Margaret Hassan "shows the kind of people that we are up against".
For Australian journalist John Martinkus, seizing foreign nationals is an intelligent way of "fighting a war" when you are outnumbered and outgunned. And unlike Blair, Martinkus has first h...
