I don't think they've accomplished a lot, particularly since a lot of them
have left.  I don't know that they've actually fueled any Iraqi propaganda,
and if anything, they've reflected badly upon antiwar activism.

On a personal level, as someone who's faced guns and gunfire for my 
activism,  I can't help but feel a bit of contempt at these fly-by-night
"Human shields".
