This Week's Quote: "The people who are speaking best to this are the psychologists who look at what it is like to live under constant gaze, or under the threat of constant gaze...it makes you different. It makes you more conformist. It makes you less willing to think new thoughts, to try new ideas. It stagnates society...Any social change you look at, whether it's civil rights or marijuana legalization, whatever your issue is, it starts by people at this end where it is socially unacceptable doing it and having it be okay. And then it spreads slowly. Ubiquitous surveillance at this end stops that process cold." —Bruce Schneier

The US military is no stranger to the fact that killing random bystanders creates more insurgents and terrorists.

All the way back in the Vietnam war, many soldiers were well aware that when one of their shots missed the target and ended up killing the wife or child of whatever farmer whose farm they happened to be fighting on the result was probably going to be a previously ambivalent farmer (who would most likely have preferred for the whole thing to just end already) becoming an active supporter of the Viet Cong.
