U.S. Amends Plan to Ensure War Crimes
Immunity (Reuters) 06/23/2004 02:45 AM
Reuters - The Bush administration is attempting to avoid defeat of its U.N. resolution seeking an exemption for U.S. soldiers from international prosecution by offering to extend the measure for one final year only.

"China (yes, that China) won't support
the UN resolution on US international
legal immunity because it would look as
if they were condoning our war crimes in
Iraq. Sorta makes you proud to be an
american, don't it?"

Bloggers Solve Crimes, News At 10

Bloggers Solve Crimes, News At 10 06/28/2004 06:47 AM
This one made my day: Haltia (Finnish only, sorry) is following two guys stealing parts off a car, in real time, from her office window. Of course, the police has already been informed, and the pictures go to the blog. It should not take a long time for them to be identified, as they seem to be driving around in their employer's car with clear signs... Besides, apparently the guys keep coming back to steal more stuff!

Of course, this is just the first step on the massive peer control network currently being born around cell phone cameras, mobile weblogging, and "always on, always with, always connected". I am not, however, convinced that it's a bad thing altogether - it is pretty much the same old shit we've always had to put up with from our nosy neighbours and relatives - this time just non-repudiation is a bigger issue than before: "photographs don't lie." At least they don't lie in a massive scale yet.

"Who watches the watchers" is a old, but good question. In a way the recent Iraqi torture scandal is a perfect example of it, and of course the older Rodney King case. I believe that there are also significant positive things to be achieved in giving the people a power to document and publish things. Of course, not all of it will be used for good purposes, but perhaps a significant amount of it will be. We don't know yet.

We will learn to adapt, I am sure. I just don't know how much will be lost, how much will be gained, and eventually, who will win.

In case you have not yet read David Brin's Transparent Society, I heartily recommend it.

Anyway, score +1 for the bloggers, zero to the bad guys. It'll be interesting to see what the final score will be.
