Marc, I'm stuck wondering which would make a better campaign slogan at this point.

Savage Minds kinda has a nice ring to it, and might scare off some of those pesky terrorists - sigh -

However, Human Terrain is more sorta in fashion.

This sounds pretty simplistic and self-centered to me. If you can’t establish who you are and what you’re are doing during fieldwork I doubt the media or the US military is to blame. The embedded anthropologists maintain that they are decreasing casualties. If there is any truth in that allegation I think that trumps your inconvenience in data gathering. The issue of informed consent is more important. How does that measure up against dead civilians?
Literally translated in the Amurican Army lingo...Get off your butt and do something...and stop whining
