What suspicions? That the insurgents are hiding out in houses and using women and children as human shields? So what should the US forces do then? Keep letting marines get killed because the insurgents are using human shields? In that situation, someone has to die. It is either the insurgents and unfortunately the human shields being used by the insurgents or US marines. If they let these insurgents hide out in these houses and continue to attack the marines, it is the marines that die.
War is ugly and when insurgents are using civilian human shields, it is very, very ugly.
You have just confirmed my suspicions that you don't have any relatives in Iraq. So it is easy for you to say that the US forces shouldn't defend themsevles just because those murdering them use human shields.
