Why are satellite images of U.S military bases online?
The idea that Google and Microsoft can post satellite images showing the interior of military bases on Guam and elsewhere is troubling. I wrote this post for Computerworld detailing the concerns.
I've heard of Google Earth, but I had no idea that satellite images were so easily accessible online... especially images of one of the military's more strategically located bases. bad news... good content.
I write about Guam from a Washington DC perspective, my current home. I tend to focus on policy issues, the military and the build-up, economics, and environment. The links column is intended to help people discover the island and the island-based blogs. I lived on Guam as part of nearly three year Navy tour there. I've been back since for a short visit and hope to make another soon enough. In the meantime, this blog is a simple way for me to stay in touch with one of world's most beautiful and friendly places. Today, I write about technology and also run DCBlogs, a site about blogs in Washington. You can reach me at dcblogs(at)gmail.com. Thanks for visiting.
