Pentagon to Use 'Persistent Surveillance' Over Course of Long
War
War
The Department of Defense
released a report called the
"Quadrennial Defense Review"
that warns that the "United States
is engaged in what will be a long
war," and calls for a
reorganization of the US military to
fight terrorism. This will be
accomplished, the report goes on
to say, by investing substantially
in special operations capabilities
and intelligence gathering both at
home and abroad.
The report was the third QDR,
first mandated by congress in
1990, and the second since
Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld was appointed to run
the Pentagon.

The previous QDR, released shortly
after 9/11 envisioned the US would
have to be able to fight two wars at
the same time. The new report
represents a shift in the department's
vision reflecting lessons learned
upon assessing the effectiveness of
'shock and awe' warfare as carried
out in Iraq.
The new report wants to use the US
military to defend against a gossamer
web of unaffiliated and loosely
affiliated political militants stretching
over a period of several
generations. Rumsfeld told reporters
recently that his plan for restructuring
the military is compelled by his fear of
terrorist who "will either succeed in
changing our way of life or

has released his defense budget for

increase of five percent over last

The QDR earmarks a large increase
in funding for "persistent
surveillance" and "rapid strike"
capabilities for preemption in
locations around the world. Also
proposed was to double the number
of armed aerial drones. The study
also asks the Congress to codify and
expand the type of permanent legal
authority the military has carved out
in occupied Iraq.

Accelerated Ice Melt Inundates Previous Projections
Greenland’s ice sheet is melting at a
much faster rate than previous
scientific estimates, according to new
research presented to the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science annual conference in St
Louis. The findings have dramatic
implications for sea levels, because
the ice sheet is the second largest in
the world after Antarctica’s. Higher
air temperatures have resulted in
acceleration of the ice sheet’s annual
loss of mass, which is reported to
have increased by 150 percent over
the past decade.
Using satellite images to study 27
major glaciers in Greenland, the
researchers from NASA and the
University of Kansas discovered that
the velocity of many had more than
doubled since 1996. As a

result, these glaciers are among the
fastest flowing in the world. Similar
observations have been made in
Antarctica, where ice shelves in front
of major glaciers have collapsed in
recent years.
Scientists had thought that it might
take as many as 1000 years for the
Greenland ice sheet to melt, but the
new data could cause these
estimates to be significantly reduced.
Greenland is the world’s largest
island with a total area slightly less
than Mexico. If the entire ice sheet,
which is an average of two miles
thick, were to disappear, global sea
levels would increase by as much as
25 feet.

under warming conditions are still

study, melting ice may act as a
lubricant, speeding up the
glaciers and accelerating the
shrinkage of the ice sheet. The

Microchip Implants Complicate
Employee Dismissal Procedure
Employee Dismissal Procedure
| Public debt as a percentage of gross domestic product, 2005 |
An Ohio corporation has become the
first American firm to implant
microchips in its employee’s bodies
for workplace identification and
tracking purposes. CityWatcher.com,
a Cincinnati-based security and
video surveillance company, is
testing the technology on two of its
workers, who are said to have
volunteered for the experiment. The
tiny radio frequency identification
devices, or RFID’s, are used to
control access to sensitive areas in
the CityWatcher.com offices.
A spokesman for the firm stressed
that the chips will not be used to
track employee movements or
activities. “It’s a passive chip. It emits
no signal whatsoever,” said

Agents Act to Protect Parking Lot
From Freedom of Expression
From Freedom of Expression
A federal employee was confronted
at his workplace by agents of the
Department of Homeland Security
who told him to remove his vehicle
from the parking facility because his
bumper stickers placed him in
violation of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
Dwight Scarbrough of Boise, Idaho
received a telephone call at his job at
a federal agency asking him to come
to the parking lot. There he was met
by two armed DHS officers who
informed him that he was in violation
of the Code, which prohibits the
posting of signs on General Services
Administration-controlled property.
Scarbrough, who founded and heads
the local chapter of Veterans for
Peace, is an experienced activist and
campaigner. He objected to what he
saw as harassment by the DHS
agents, but agreed to move his truck
from federal property.
