Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Imprisoned Pulitzer-prize Winning AP Photographer
Andrew Sullivan writes about The Case of Bilal Hussein. "An Iraqi working as a contract photographer for the Associated Press has been held—uncharged—by the U.S. military for seven months. The U.S. says Bilal Hussein has links to terrorists. The outraged AP implores the Pentagon to charge him or free him." We have no idea if he did anything, but that is the problem with detaining people without charges. Now the military is not used to charging people with crimes, but that goes back to the point that military shouldn't be used for policing.
