British Intelligence: Terrorists Used Google Maps for Attacks

From the Telegraph: “Terrorists attacking British bases in Basra are using aerial footage displayed by the Google Earth internet tool to pinpoint their attacks, say Army intelligence sources. . . The satellite photographs show in detail the buildings inside the bases and vulnerable areas such as tented accommodation, lavatory blocks and where lightly armoured Land Rovers are parked.”

    I knew this would happen sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time before all you will see on US bases are a big chunk of background color.

    Should have been that way all along.

    Nope…in this day and age, you have to wait until something bad happens, otherwise certain political affiliations fry your ass.

    Prior to 9/11, sure. Afterward it’s been pretty clear that it was just a matter of time before that info would be used to go after DoD assets. So far, as far as we know, it’s just not been *our* DoD. Yet.
