Pakistan Military was Using Google Earth to Locate Targets

So Apparently, Pakistan’s military was using Google Earth to locate its targets, says the NYTimes.

"The Pakistani military has moved away from the scorched-earth artillery and air tactics used last year against insurgents in the Bajaur tribal agency. In recent months, the air force has shifted from using Google Earth to sophisticated images from spy planes and other surveillance aircraft, and has increased its use of laser-guided bombs."

Maybe they are also using Google Maps to locate Beitullah Mehsud.

Anyway, joking aside, I am not entirely sure how much “better” the new and improved ubersecret spy technology and imagery that the U.S. has given to Pakistan will be. According to a Brookings report, U.S. drones are killing ten civilians per militant.

Atrocious.
