Google Terror Threat

bogd wrote to mention a CNN article wherein Indian President Abdul Kalam stated his concerns that Google Maps could be used to aid terrorists. From the article: "The Google site contains clear aerial photos of India's parliament building, the president's house and surrounding government offices in New Delhi. There are also some clear shots of Indian defense establishments. Debbie Frost, spokewoman for Mountain View, California-based Google, noted that the software uses information already available from public sources and the images displayed are about one to two years old, not shown in real time."

It'd be a lot bigger if Kim Beazley hadn't pork-barrelled the Collins class subs off to a bunch of greedy scumbags South Oz, who had no previous experience, no servicing facilities, and completely botched the construction.

Our own exemplarary Premier oversaw the sale of the three most innovative companies in WA (Armadillo Housing, Eagle Aircraft and the OKA Motor Company) off to Malaysia during his tenure, and the previous one left us little but a copper and glass monstrosity cluttering up the Swan foreshore, but I'd still rather have them, than Kim thanks.
