in other words, you got nothing to prove your OP, so you play it into corner, so to speak. You started with claim that is against existing evidence and when challenged you can't prove the evidence wrong.
BTW taking civilian hostages is very well definition of human shield. That's the whole point of hostages. Your terrorists friends use them as meat shield, so their oponent is forced into dilema, either risk loosing their people or to give in. Bank robbers, airplane highjackers, etc… use this all the time.
You might be confusing it with taking enemy combatants into jail to prevent them fighting in war. But even those are not paraded trough streets, naked, half-dead/ dead, with dislocated limbs, on truck, while being spitted on.
