At Harvard, the impetus may well have been the January discovery by the Crimson that flawed polling software from iCommons could be used to obtain personal information about students online, but in the world at-large concerns ranging from the sanctity of EZ-Pass statements to the privacy policies of the new CharlieCard system for frequent T riders have been levied in an increasingly audible voice...

Those are only a few of the reasons for the Iraqis' remarkable hatred of the U.S. troops. As a consequence, such crimes happen. Mohammed Irfan Al-Qudham Deir-ez-Zor, Syria...
