Bad Guys Using Google Earth in IRQ

[tomahawk6]

Military installations have no business on google earth and only enable the bad guys to plan an attack much more precisely.

the pentagon is taking the threat seriously.

I often go googling around Baghdad, and seach out my old FOB. The pics used are at least 4 yrs old, so I don't think its that tactically important, especially HUMINT is much better and current for fortifications and VCPs etc.

The 4 yr old images were useless to me. Some streets are now closed off, T-walls, etc, things change, and old images are simply that - old.


Cheers,
