191. I'm interested but I doubt you can

if she was in the line of fire and the SEALs felt they had no choice, it was perfectly legal to shoot her. The intent of the law regarding human shields is to discourage their use. If, as you say, we could not endanger her in any way then it would have exactly the opposite effect.

Under US domestic law, if OBL had lived he could have been prosecuted for the murder of the woman - it was his actions that endangered her life.
