Suspicious things I've done on an
airplane 08/06/2004 07:52 AM
An Indian-American blogger recounts the "suspicious" things he's done on an airplane:

For reference, I am about 5'8", dark black hair and untrimmed beard length about three to four inches. I weigh about 160lbs and have brown skin. I am of Indian descent but am frequently mistaken for Arab. I often wear religious headdress when traveling (a white cotton cap with gold trim).

Here's some of the things I have done on an airplane, and why:

- Speaking a foreign language in hushed tones with other similar males

My language is a variant of Gujarati, with many Arabic vocabulary words. I consider it rude to talk loudly on a plane, since people are sleeping, and prefer to talkin my language with my friends or family if we are discussing personal things because in my experience, people eavesdrop in close quarters.

Chicago Surveillance Cameras On The
Lookout For Suspicious Behavior

Chicago Surveillance Cameras On The
Lookout For Suspicious Behavior 09/21/2004 12:29 PM
Remember that island in Maine that had security cameras and sensors designed to kick you off the island if you acted strange? Well, now take that concept and move it to a big city like Chicago. That's right, Chicago is putting surveillance cameras all over the city that are supposed to recognize potentially bad actions. Remember, we still haven't been able to create speedin g cameras that work right, and now we're going to trust these cameras to catch people acting strangely? Still, these days, it's become clear that surveillance cameras aren't going away, and with so many out there, this is being pitched as a reasonable solution to the problem of monitoring all those cameras (apparently Jay Walker's wireles s neighborhood watch idea isn't catching on). If that's the case, though, who's watchin g the watchers to make sure this technology isn't being abused?

The Berger Affair

The Berger Affair 07/21/2004 11:16 AM

NY Times: A Kerry Adviser Leaves the Race Over Missing Documents. Samuel R. Berger, the former national security adviser to President Bill Clinton, resigned abruptly Tuesday as a senior adviser to John Kerry's presidential campaign after the disclosure that he had improperly removed classified material on terrorism from a secure government reading room last year. The decision came after Mr. Berger endured a day of furious criticism from Republican leaders, who accused him of breaching national security and possibly passing classified material to Mr. Kerry's campaign. Democrats, in turn, accused the Bush administration of leaking word of an F.B.I. investigation of Mr. Berger as a way of diverting attention from the release of the Sept. 11 commission's final report Thursday.

Plainly, Berger screwed up in a serious way here. The acts he has acknowledged are improper at the very least, and perhaps much worse than that. Maybe we'll know one of these days when the investigation concludes. Almost equally plainly, someone in the Bush administration or campaign illegally leaked word of the investigation just in time to start a political potboiler. The timing cannot be coincidental. The 9/11 commission's report, harshly critical of both the Clinton and Bush administrations' anti-terrorism policies, is being issued this week. And next week comes the Democratic convention in Boston. The Republicans are predictably claiming (among other things) a coverup, even though the 9/11 commission staff has been widely quoted as saying the commission had the documents in question. USA Today reports, for example: "There is no indication that Berger's action affected the 9/11 commission's work; a spokesman for the panel said Tuesday that the classified papers — some of which are still missing — were copies of original documents." The most puzzling aspect of this, as Josh Marshall correctly notes, is Berger's political tone-deafness. Marshall asks: "Why didn't Sandy Berger step aside from his advisory position for John Kerry some time ago?" Good question.
