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."
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
back in the day we didnt have no old school
This is not a 'pro-democratic' protest.
People are protesting against drastic increase in petrol prices - from 28 cents per litre to 38.
Nothing more.
Everything else is just a stupid propaganda.
P.S. I don't know how government act - but they have all rights to squash the protest; including the right to kill the criminals, if necessary.
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
back in the day we didnt have no old school
Stop support of Israel, immediately.
The Catch-22 there is no support of Israel = no media time and maybe labeled as an anti-semite. They've hijacked that definition too.
I'd say Bush is a douchebag and a turd but so was Gore and Kerry.
After review of the past 6 years, I'd say Gore should have had his 4 years to F things up so that the 2004 would have had a different stock of politicians.
Even Bush would have been welcome (uhh, probably not) after Gore.
Jeesh, Gore and Kerry is the best the Democrats can offer? We practically deserve the mess we're in.
BTW, Sukkot lasts for the next 6 days.
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.
fuck karma, I like saying the truth better
