While we’re at it, we might just as well declare every 9/11 victim a US “human shield,” too.

Frankly, Bin Laden's justification why killing US civilians was justified sounds very similar to justifications of hard line Israeli politicians why civilian getting killed in Gaza don't deserve any sympathy and were "asking for it". Both boil down to, "they voted for the people in charge who do crimes against us, so they are guilty as well."

It's amazing how quickly contrived propaganda terms like "human shields" loses any meaning when they are flipped around on people western media hasn't marked for genocide, eh?
