Pentagon bans digital cameras

The Pentagon has reportedly banned digital cameras — including camera phones — from U.S. Army bases in Iraq, in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal.

Expect more bans on camera phones? but technology has advanced to the point where you can’t just ban it. Anything you do, any time, anywhere might be captured — get used to it.

Freedom of visual information? a scary yet liberating thing.

    If the ban really is in effect it appears it may not be working. Here are some of the recent submissions we’ve had at our site. You’ll see that a couple are apparently from soldiers in the field.

    Typical Bush administration reaction. If there’s any hint of impropriety, hide it. The ‘cure’ is almost as disgusting as the cause. Freedom is slavery…
