			<description><![CDATA[Ryan: Since I don't want to be as rude as you were to Major, could you please tell me where the First Amendment gives you the right to information that could possibly put any of the Coalition Forces in some sort of danger? I'm just asking. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." We are not abridging his or your right to free speech, just asking him the rules that he signed to agree when he went over. If MY can't follow simple rules, then how do you expect the rest of us to believe anything he says? And BTW -- you may think Major signed up for BS, but he's over there protecting your right to be an idiot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hmm. We have the technology, but why not go state of the art--to the extent that it makes the troop's job easier. Have someone in the lead track/truck with a laptop that can take real-time images of the road, compare them with yesterday and highlight the differences. The obvious countermeasure is to put the snapper under a pile of dung. The counter to that is not to drive/walk through fresh dung. ;-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tom, so you want to spend your time in Afghanistan protecting the freedoms of the United States, by asking someone in the United States not to exercise their first amendment rights? So why did YOU sign up for the military. Because the bullsh*t that you signed up to protect America is, well, clearly bullsh*t.. How dare you ask someone to censor themselves. You of all should know better the sacrifices given in support of the bill of rights, our constitution, and our way of life. Yet, here you are asking someone to throw all of that way by censoring themselves.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wonder if it would be possible to "salt" the roads with a sand/dust that would be visible only thru special imaging googles ... any digging up of the roadway to plant a mine would be clearly visible from helo's scouting ahead of any convoy ... Just a thought ... given that there is little that can be done to deal with/jam/locate the arming wires I would think the next best thing would be to look for "roadwork" ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One thing I've seen in interviews with Afghan civilians re their reaction to Taliban-caused civilian casualties is that the coalition is to blame no matter who initiated the bomb. The view seems to stem from "if the coalition wasn't there, the Taliban wouldn't be planting bombs there".]]></description>
