The U.S.-led coalition accused the Taliban of using children as human shields during a battle in southern Afghanistan yesterday.
The fighting in Uruzgan province began when more than 20 insurgents armed with machine-guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars attacked a joint Afghan and coalition patrol yesterday morning, the coalition said in a statement.
As the coalition aircraft prepared to bomb the site, "coalition forces as well as the aircraft identified several insurgents in one compound using children as human shields," it said. Ground forces and the aircraft witheld fire to avoid injuring the children ("Taliban using kids as shields: NATO. Coalition says forces spotted children ahead of airstrike", TORONTO SUN, Thursday, September 20, 2007).

Stoner spotcheck
Naive Supreme Court keeps giving cops more search powers they can abuse
BY Alan Young
THE NINTH ANNUAL HEMPFEST CELE-brations in the woods outside Sault Ste. Marie from August 23 to 26 attracted the unwanted attention of some special guests: the police.
Although no highway safety problems have been associated with Hempfest in the past, the police set up a RIDE checkpoint staffed by some 20 officers to stop vehicles entering and leaving the festival grounds.
After three days of vehicle stops, no impaired driving charges were laid, but more than 30 minor drug charges were laid against festival-goers who were stopped, questioned and searched.
This quasi-military intervention clearly signals a slow return to an American-style war on drugs. But I find myself more troubled by the assumption made by the police that they can set up highway roadblocks wherever they see fit and arbitrarily detain whomever they please.
Blame the Supreme Court of Canada, which continues to expand police powers without any recognition of the fact that, when it gives an inch, the cops will take a mile.
Cops can't just stop a vehicle for no apparent reason. This amounts to arbitrary detention contrary to Section 9 of the Charter.
The Supreme Court gave the police the power to conduct random spot checks and RIDE programs in the 90s solely for the purpose of checking cars' mechanical fitness and drivers' sobriety.
The Supremes concluded that the carnage impaired drivers cause on the road made the checks a reasonable limit on individual rights. Of course, the police immediately expanded this new power to conduct random spot checks for drug offences and other crimes, to the point that the Supreme Court felt compelled to remind police forces years later that "random spot programs must not be turned into a means of conducting either an unfounded general inquisition or an unreasonable search."
Like an old dog that cannot learn new tricks, the Supreme Court made repeated its mistake this summer by giving its seal of approval to police roadblocks without setting any real limitations on the power.
On the one hand, the decision seems sensible. The police received a 911 call indicating that a number of men outside a Toronto club were waving guns. The caller provided descriptions of several vehicles. Within minutes, the police set up a roadblock in the club's parking lot.
The first vehicle stopped led to the discovery of handguns, but the vehicle itself did not match any of the 911 caller's descriptions, a fact that led the Ontario Court of Appeal to rule the detention of the suspects arbitrary.
The Supreme Court, however, concluded that it would be an unnecessary burden on the police to require them to exercise fine judgment in these circumstances, and that a blanket and indiscriminate roadblock in this situation was reasonably necessary.
I think the Supreme Court was right to favour the blanket roadblock. It's hard to argue against the nature of the police conduct in these circumstances. Most people would have considered the police derelict in their duty if they hadn't responded to a gun call in this fashion.
But the Court placed no discernable limits on the exercise of police power. I would assume that the Supreme Court believes the police would only use their roadblock power in case of imminent harm and danger, but it's hard to believe that the leading jurists of the land could be so naive.
The Hempfest roadblock had nothing to do with impaired driving, gun offences or any other serious threats to public order. The police will slowly stretch this roadblock power to the point where it bears little relationship to its public safety rationale. The Court simply fails to recognize that rights are never extinquished in one dramatic explosion. Rather they gradually disappear through incremental erosion.
When a court grants carte blanche power to the police, it is effectively giving the police the tools to begin dismantling our Constitutional rights.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court will probably not notice until a police roadblock is set up at the entrance to the courhouse parking log.
