CCC captures U.S. military biometrics database
While I understand the argument being made, the fact that the data was apparently split across two machines with a relatively small number of data points (just over 2000) does suggest that the databases were specifically structured for the task at hand. Therefore, the assertion that the data of the whole afghan population is readily accessible seems somewhat exaggerated, and as a member of the CCC, I would have expected a more nuanced approach in communication. I like linus but since he took over as the defacto press officer all the releases get a bit sensationalized.
