Lies and Statistics

This is one the dumbest things I've seen in a while. The article, Cheap watches trouble for Gitmo prisoners, tells how many terrorist bombs use Casio watches as timers so now "The U.S. military cites the digital watches worn by prisoners when they were captured as possible evidence of terrorist ties."

The fact that millions and millions of people wear the popular watches seems lost on them. I bet terrorists use Kleenex too, or maybe they prefer Puffs. Now if someone could find a connection in Casio corporate, that would be something.

To me the most frightening part of the article was:

The watch maker, a division of Casio Computer Co., Ltd. of Japan, declined interview requests, but said in the statement that it is aware of the concerns. "Casio continues to work closely with all government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security to help limit any potential threats and deal with security concerns," the statement said.

what is this "close work" they do?
