Job Numbers in an Election Year
08/10/2004 12:47 PMI'll grant that often you can say anything you want with statistics,
but in
these
letters to the NY Times editor (in response to
this
article), one statistic really stood out:
For the last 54 years, spanning 14 presidential terms and
11 different presidents, six of the top seven job-growth terms were
presided over by Democrats, while Republican presidents were in office
for all seven of the lowest job-growth terms.
Is there a lesson to be learned from this for the working men and
women of America?

It was a couple of years ago, at least, that we first
heard about bandages being developed out of chitosan and now it seems
they've been put into service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Chitosan, derived from shrimp shells, carries a positive charge and
bonds with a wound's red blood cells (which are negatively charged) to
form a clot in as short as 30 seconds. Made exclusively by HemCon, the
bandages use shrimp shells from Iceland, are processed and
freeze-dried in New Hampshire, assembled and packaged in Oregon, and
sterilized in California. No word on when shrimp bandages will be
available to consumers.

terrorists seized four jetliners and caused the deaths of nearly 3,000
people, President Bush has declared that the United States is at war

Camera phones in Iraq; digicams and
truth in wartime
05/24/2004 12:49 PMSEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST
London's "The Business" newspaper (aka the Sunday Business) reported
this weekend that US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ordered a ban
on camera phones and other mobile imaging devices in US army
installations in Iraq. The story was subsequently cited in numerous
online news reports, including UPI and AFP, and blogged abundantly.
Quoting a Pentagon source, the paper said the US Defence Department
believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis
at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.
"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been
prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a
"total ban throughout the US military" is in the works.
This morning, I asked a Defense Department
spokesperson whether or not the reports of a phonecam ban were true.
This spokesperson said that these reports were technically inaccurate
-- that the Pentagon is not issuing a new ban on camera phones per se,
but that a Directive 8100.2 was issued on April 14 establishing new
restrictions on wireless telecommunications equipment in general. The
text of this directive is available online here in PDF format: Link. The intent of this April 14 directive, and how
commanders in the field will be expected to enforce it, are matters
I'll be reporting on in more detail for the NPR program "Day to Day,"
later this week.

05/26/2004 12:13 PMFollowing up on
this week's erroneous reports of a "Rumsfeld phonecam ban" in
Iraq, I filed this story for Wired News today:
While Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld may not have signed a ban
on new consumer digital-imaging technologies, he did express clear
concern about the unforeseen impact of such technologies during the
Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on May 7.
"People are running around with digital cameras and taking these
unbelievable photographs and passing them off, against the law, to the
media, to our surprise, when they had not even arrived in the
Pentagon,"
Rumsfeld said.
According to [DoD spokesperson Lt. Col. Ken] McClellan, some Defense
Department lawyers may be reviewing how the spread of consumer
digital-imaging technology among military contractors and enlisted
personnel affects the military's obligation to abide by a Geneva
Convention article against holding prisoners up to public ridicule.
"Lawyers may have looked at that and said, 'It's probably a good idea
to get these things out of the prisons.' There's no Pentagon-induced
rule in the theater at this time ... but there may or may not be some
discussion taking place as to how the [Pentagon's April
14 directive on commercial wireless technology] might be
supplemented in Iraq to prevent things we saw at Abu Ghraib."

Rumsfeld bans camera phones in Iraq;
digicams and truth in wartime
05/24/2004 12:04 AMUS Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has reportedly ordered a ban on
camera phones and other mobile imaging devices in US army
installations in Iraq. The story broke in Britain's "The Business"
newspaper, and has since been cited in numerous online news reports,
including UPI and AFP.
Quoting a Pentagon source, the paper said the US Defence Department
believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis
at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.
"Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been
prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a
"total ban throughout the US military" is in the works.
And while we're at it:
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld sounded like he was blaming
technology for letting the Abu Ghraib scandal spin out of Pentagon
control when he testified recently before the Senate Armed Services
Committee. "We are constantly finding that we have procedures and
habits that have evolved over the years from the last century that
don't really fit the 21st century. They don't fit the Information Age.
They don't fit a time when people are running around with digital
cameras. "

Photography."
If I had my way, every enlisted man and woman in the military would be
issued a digital camera. As we've seen in the scandal about abused
Iraqi prisoners, the little gadgets help boost morale by providing
snapshots that can be e-mailed back home. They also can come in handy
when you need to gather evidence. I like those little cameras because
certain power elites don't.
