#3 Hell were turning over bases on a regulsr basis to the Iraqi forces. the terrorists can do better than 18 month Google shots. they can use GPS / laser/compass range finder.

#4 A map from google Earth is less helpful than a map from AAA. Especially if your traget is not in one of the high detail areas.

Knowing the internal layout of a military base doesn't do a lot of good if the gates are still maned and secured.

#6 Wouldn't co-ordinates for urban targets outside Iraq for buildings such as Big Ben be useful to terrorists? Maybe the NSA and other spy agencies should be monitoring who uses Google Earth.

#7 NSA monitors all communications on the face of the earth, googleearth monitoring, don't waste my time or bandwith. Childsplay. The extent of their monitoring ability is beyond comprehension. Wake up. This story is idiot crap for idiots.
