The Night Goggles In Iraq

[Sweetpea]

have some of the Iraqis believing the troops can see through women's clothing. One of the many rumors spreading the country that is not helping their occupation.

1. It's true

2. What's True Trumad?

That there is a rumor discomfitting our beleaguered troops in Iraq or that night vision goggles image humanity through their clothes?

I think Sony recalled a certain model of video camera that had the latter potential. I think that is what you meant. :-)

3. Homeland Security sees one's naked self in Airport screeners

or at least there is a discussion in print and on the web about the scanners that are offered for sale to Homeland Security that do indeed see the naked self of the veiled passenger - sort of makes Muslim objections to the French proposed law to ban veils in public functions - like kids in schools - rather moot if they have weapons scanners at the door.

Sony's little camera had that problem and that version is no longer sold in the US -

But this is war, and outside the US -

Still an administration that throws away $20,000 to cover a stone statue at Justice because it has a breast exposed, would not be such hypocrites as to issue fun glasses to our troops - or would they?
