Also good for outrage, the main ingredient of modern media. Once the enemy fires on a Red Cross branded outpost, they must be the bad guys, no matter how many of the doctors were actually intelligence operatives. Using NGOs like this should be as unacceptable as using outright human shields, but as always, it's different when the perfidious foreigners do it.

At what number of intelligence operatives would firing at Red Cross workers be a good thing? > Using NGOs like this should be as unacceptable as using outright human shields Yes. But, like human shields, firing on them with disregard will indeed make people think you're the bad guys.
