Late in the day yesterday a bridge, part of I-35 over the Mississippi river in Minneapolis, collapsed, injuring and killing a number of commuters. The latest reports from the scene indicate the process has moved from a rescue operation to a recovery operation and estimates of up to 30 dead are stil being bandied about. CNN was able to snag themselves a copy of the tape from a security camera pointed directly at the bridge at the time of the collapse — here’s that video, as shown this morning on the Today Show.

Neal Krawetz, a researcher and
computer security consultant, gave an interesting presentation today at the Blac
kHat security conference in Las Vegas about analyzing digital photographs and video
images for alterations and enhancements.Using a program he wrote (and provided on the conference CD-ROM) Krawetz could print out the quantization tables in a JPEG file (that indicate how the image was compressed) and determine the last tool that created the image — that is, the make and model of the camera if the image is original or the version of Photoshop that was used to alter and re-save the image.

While Democrats and Republicans on the Hill continue their “Yeah but now I’m against it” routine, Texas Congressman Ron Paul doesn’t have to issue any apologies. He was always against the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and he’s running for president.
