This is a small but insane story. Classified interviews conducted by the US military into what happened during the massacre in Haditha, Iraq were supposed to be destroyed as the last US troops leave Iraq. Instead they wound up in a kind of junk yard and The New York Times found them. I think it's the best story of classified documents exposed I've ever heard.

An attendant was burning them as fuel to cook a dinner of smoked carp.

endured a few days ago your wallowing on 'aps'; making aps, downloading aps, uploading aps, using aps, making money with aps, ---- If my remaining days are to be filled with aps, blogs, podcasts, tweets, 3G-4G-GigaG,I would be blest if they go quickly. Good grief, people, get a life; become sentient again. And when your time comes may your caskets come equipped with WiFi and cupholders!
