Will Terrorists Use Google Earth?
Does Google Earth provide too much information? Could it become a tool of
terrorists? Last month, I asked if the CIA would eventually censor Google Earth. Now we discover that the
suspects being held for the JFK terror plot supposedly referenced Google Maps as
a part of the supposed plan. Here is a look
at what the suspects said:
One of the plotters behind the alleged scheme to explode gas pipelines at
John F. Kennedy International Airport directed his co-conspirators to use Google
Earth to obtain detailed aerial photos of the targeted facility.
If you follow the link above you can see transcripts of the
interrogation.
What do you think? Did the suspects actually reference Google Maps? And in a
broader context, just how much information should Google Maps be allowed to show
its users? Is there such a thing as too much transparency?
