I'm sure George Bush never thought of using "The Google".

Interesting logic and that may explain why a lot of "hot spots" in China, N. Korea, etc. are so clear. Didn't some independant researcher find a N. Korean "hidden" base not too long ago because they don't classify the images of Korea like they do the ones of "hot spots" here in the US?

That's interesting not because its a surprise... but because i just heard GW mentioning google earth the other day in some press conference. i thought it was weird that he would give them a plug like that. not really pertinant, but interesting...

Well, maybe not quite unless you open your big mouth.
However, I was informed by a member of a unmentionable intelligence agency that they knew exactly where bin Laden had a compound built in the middle of a mountain in far, far, NE in the thumb of the claws of the arm of the dragon that reaches NE into China at the Kashmiri/Pakistani border, around 74degrees 32 minutes X 36 degrees 57 minutes, mwith a secondary camp in the nfinger of the claws NW.
From those camps where bin Laden holes up practically all winter, he can escape into five countries within between a few minutes to an hour. You can Google that. They were particularly good base camps because they were practically impossible to assail short of a hydrogen bomb that would likely contaminate 5 countries including China and Pakistan, and close to the Kashmir insurgency.

Perhaps the most clever among us can reduce the search for bin Laden to a computer-version of "Where's Waldo?" Once the topic has been thus trivialized the American people can just forget the underlying reality that there are folks over there who want to destroy our society.
In terms of undermining any American commitment to self-defense, this approach is probably far more effective than simple denial of mortal danger.
Come on, everyone! Let's play!
