Dahr Jamail describes the changes that will make Fallujah the “model city”:
They will set up “processing centers” on the outskirts of the city and compile a database of peoples’ identities by using DNA testing and retina scans. Residents will then receive a badge which identifies them with their home address, which they must wear at all times.
Buses will ferry them into their city, as cars will be banned since the military fears the use of them by suicide bombers.
Another idea being kicked around is to require the men to work for pay in military-style battalions where these “work brigades” will reconstruct buildings and the water system, depending on the men’s skills.
There will also be “rubble-clearing” platoons.
The intent of the US commanders and Iraqi leaders is to make Fallujah a “model city.”
This MSNBC report (via Above Top Secret) cites retina scans, fingerprinting, and ID Cards. Additionally, the reporter states that the United States intends to limit cardholders to travel only from their residences to designated relief centres, and that those who violate these restrictions will be subject to “deadly force.”
