U.S. Killed 181 Insurgents- WikiLeaks Founder

Be fair, attentive, and customers

Julian Assange's, WikiLeaks founder,
web site stirred up debates about
classified information the public
should/shouldn't know.

"WikiLeaks aims to achieve political
reforms by getting out information
that has been suppressed to the public,"
Assange explained to Voice of America.

WikiLeaks web site posted classified military
documents spelling-out U. S. failures in
Afghanistan.

The documents were first released to The New
York Times, British daily, The Guardian and
German magazine Der Spiegel. They point to
a worse picture of the Afghan war than the
official public account, and include information
that Pakistan's intelligence services have been
helping the Taliban kill U.S. troops. Both ideas
have been discussed in the past.

The report could put U. S. citizens in harm's way,
and hurt national security.

"We have with-held approximately 15,000 reports
for further harm minimization process," he informed.
"We don't see anything here that is of tactical
significance. What we see is a lot of reports of
evidentiary significance that describe the cut/thrust
of the entire war over the last six years."

President Obama found out about the posting of the
documents last week, Robert Gibbs commented Monday-
White House Press Secretary.

The public release of the information was "a breach
of federal law," Gibbs said.

"We authenticate everything," Assange made-clear.
"To our knowledge, we've never been wrong. There
are no allegations by the rest of the press that
we've been wrong. We've never lost a source through
the process we go through."

Household Cleaning Products Increases Breast Cancer Risk

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

A new study pointed out that using
house-hold cleaning products increases
breast cancer.

Brody and her co-researchers conducted
telephone interviews with 787 women who
had been diagnosed with breast cancer,
and 721 women who didn't have breast cancer.
"We asked women about past use of cleaning
products in the past year, their typical
use," Brody explained.

Air fresheners and mold/mildew controlling
products were connected to increasing breast
cancer, Julia Brody, PhD, executive director
of the Silent Spring Institute, Newton
Massachusetts. She led the study.

"We found links to breast cancer for combined
cleaning products used, many different products
taken together, and air fresheners and mold and
mildew control products," she continued.

"For combined cleaning product use, the risk
is about twice as high for breast cancer for
women who said they used the most compared to
women who said they used the least."

Listing exactly how much of exposure could raise
risk is difficult to say, she admitted.

"This is a first look and there are cautions
about interpreting it," Brody said.

The article is published in the journal
Environmental health.

AT&T Faults iPhone

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

AT&T faults iPhone for slow upload
speeds on 3G wireless gear from
supplier Alcatel Lucent.

AT&T in a statement, Wednesday, said
the software problem in Alcatel Lucent
is restricting data upload speeds from
smartphones.

"AT&T and Alcatel Lucent jointly identified
a software defect- triggered under certain
conditions- that impacted uplink performance
for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers
using 3G HSUPA capable wireless devices in
markets with Alcatel Lucent equipment,"
explained Jenny Bridges, spokes-woman.

"This happens to less than 2 percent of our
wireless customer base," Bridges continued.
"White Alcatel developed the software fix-
we are providing normal 3G uplink and consistent
performance for affected customers with HSUPA
capable devices."

AT&T isn't using Alcatel Lucent gear in all
of its network. The glitch is in certain regions
of the country like: New York, Philadelphia,
Washington D. C., Salt Lake City and Seattle.
