Rumsfeld bans camera phones in Iraq

WTF?

Cellphones fitted with digital cameras have been banned in US army installations in Iraq on orders from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a business newspaper reported.

Quoting a Pentagon source, the business newspaper said the US Defense Department believes that some of the damning photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad were taken with camera phones.
You see, the REAL problem at Abu Ghraib wasn't the torture. No, the REAL problem at Abu Ghraib was the fact that someone took pictures EXPOSING the torture. Rummy is obviously familiar with the famous metaphysical conundrum: If an Iraqi falls in a prison and there's no camera to prove it, did it really happen?
