Terrorism and Google Earth

This disturbing item is from the Daily Telegraph site by way of Daily Alert:
Google Earth allows users to zoom in on almost any location in the world to such close range that cars can be recognised. The site even provides latitude and longitude co-ordinates for buildings . . . .

But since its launch, allied forces servicemen in Iraq have suspected that terrorists are using it, along with GPS (global positioning system) units - available in the high street for as little as £150 - to carry out attacks on their bases.
There's another genie out of the bottle.
