U.S. forces in Iraq soon will be equipped with high-tech equipment that will let them process an Iraqi’s biometric data in minutes and help American soldiers decide whether they should execute the person or not, according to its inventor.

"A war fighter needs to know one of three things: Do I let him go? Keep him? Or shoot him on the spot?” Pentagon weapons designer Anh Duong told the Washington Post for a feature on how this 47-year-old former Vietnamese refugee and mother of four rose to become a top U.S. bomb-maker.

Though Duong is best known for designing high-explosives used to destroy hardened targets, she also supervised the Joint Expeditionary Forensics Facilities project, known as a “lab in a box” for analyzing biometric data, such as iris scans and fingerprints, that have been collected on more than one million Iraqis.

The labs – collapsible, 20-by-20-foot units each with a generator and a satellite link to a biometric data base in West Virginia – will let U.S. forces cross-check data in the field against information collected previously that can be used to identify insurgents. These labs are expected to be deployed across Iraq in early 2008.


You didn't really think the news would get better, now did you?

5. Iraq is becoming one big weapons lab for the Pentagon.

This is pure evil. Deciding life and death on a computer score? Too friggen strange.

10. Yeah, the Pentagon was so held up by JFK diplomacy and Vietnam-syndrome . . .

they say in Panama there were some really weird things being tried out ---

and we've crashed the nuke barrier --- !!!

Nukes acceptable now --- downgraded; simply bunker busters, etal -- !!!

Unfortunately, folks, patriarchy is suicidal ---

Capitalism is a ridiculous "King-of-the-Hill System" . . . and we need a lot of changes !!!


Amd how SAD is this that we have a Vietnamese WOMAN inventing this crap for us to use on
other people made victims as her own Vietnamese people were victimized and murdered!!!

They must have said some really magic words to get her to volunteer to work for us ---

11. They probably just

showed her video of her helicopter rescue over, and over, and over, till she fell in love with the US military.

8. "These labs are expected to be deployed across Iraq in early 2008." And in the US

in 201x. The cowards who rule the US and develop their tests in Iraq don't care about accuracy or anything sane. They just want to kill "the other" as selected by any hallucinatory mechanism they or their operatives can offer.
