Satellite Images Used to Monitor Burmese Junta

BurmesePython writes "Human rights groups are using high-resolution satellites images to reveal the activities of Burma's junta as it gets tough with pro-democracy protesters. Apparently 'it should be easy to spot groups of monks because of their distinctive maroon robes'. Like previous efforts to use satellites to monitor the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, the hope is it will prod the UN and other international actors into putting pressure on the Burmese rulers."

Re:prod the UN

[drfrog]

yes and the US is just as bad, state sponsored terrorism, hiring soldiers of fortuen to do thier own dirty work

sponsoring terror and carrying on terrorist acts all over the world

they slaughter millions of innocent peoples and its ok , one can only guess where the bodies are buried

welcome to the new world order

Re:Pressure the UN?

[drfrog]

maybe its because the USA uses them like some sort of yes man

for instance:
telling them some place has wmd's

so then the un inspectors and un forces go in and RECON for america and allied forces

as soon as they find out the place is completely lacking in any sort of defense they invade

textbook american terror

this brings us to Bin Alladin spy sats

[hoyeru]

if spy sat so powerful how come the US center wasn't using them to observe Bin Alladin's every move? and how come they STILL can not find him? Oh yeah they were but he somehow managed to slip through by giving his cell phone to somebody else. Or he only stays in caves. Or he... Im sick and tired of all these blantant lies the US gives.
