The New York Times discusses the possibility of what could be a great convenience or the bane of an airplane passenger's existence in its article on web access and e-mail on flights. It begins by suggesting that 2008 will be the year when all these new in-flight technology options take off (pardon the pun). The article goes on to discuss just what services will be offered and what is already offered, as well as what airline executives thing of the opportunities for making money off of such endeavors.
A Boston Globe article details a high school girl's actions in trying to secure the arrest of an alleged molester on the T. The article focuses on the girl's motivations in snapping a cell phone picture of a man who she alleges groped her and other students who ride the green line home from Boston Latin School. The Globe is transparent in saying it will not disclose the girl's name because of its policy of not naming victims of sexual assault.
A thorough Washington Post article reports on the videotapes of interrogations destroyed by the CIA. The article begins by explaining who was on the tapes; why the tapes would have been controversial (they showed waterboarding interrogation techniques being used against the captive al-Qaeda officers); and who ordered their destruction. It goes on to examine the implications of their not being shown to the 9/11 Commission, among others.
