Identity Dominance: the US Military's Biometric War In Afghanistan

Posted by timothy on from the just-want-to-borrow-your-eyeball dept.

Advocatus Diaboli (1627651) writes "For years the U.S. military has been waging a biometric war in Afghanistan, working to unravel the insurgent networks operating throughout the country by collecting the personal identifiers of large portions of the population. A restricted U.S. Army guide on the use of biometrics in Afghanistan obtained by Public Intelligence provides an inside look at this ongoing battle to identify the Afghan people."

    The neoconservatives know better than to let a perfectly good crisis go to waste, as we've seen in Latin America, Iraq and elsewhere. Never mind that the results ALWAYS turn to shit... but it never stops them from trying nonetheless.

    The world is being run by idiots.
