"For me, seeing pictures is the big thing," said U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Carl Ginsberg, from Burnet, Texas, while enjoying a four-day pass from Iraq and chatting online with friends and family using MySpace at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Aug. 15. "I love seeing pictures; they're a morale booster ... they just make me feel okay about things back home." The fate of Internet social networking software is under investigation by the Department of Defense, citing concerns with operations security, network vulnerability and bandwidth drain. A comprehensive review is expected to determine if a department-wide ban is necessary. Officials will decide if the risks of such communication platforms are trumped by the power of their benefits, such as recruiting, public affairs and long-distance contact between family and friends.
