Sub Secret Exposed

[Dubh Aingeal]

A Seattle blogger, Dan Twohig, was browsing in Microsoft's Virtual Earth when he accidentally came across a photo of a nuclear sub in dry-dock. Its propeller is clearly visible — this was a major no-no on the part of someone at the Bangor Sub Base. The designs of such stealth propellers have been secret for decades. Twohig blogged about the find and linked to the Virtual Earth photo on July 2. The debate about security vs. Net-accessible aerial photography has been building ever since. The story was picked up on military.china.com on Aug. 17 — poetic justice for the Chinese sub photo that had embarrassed them a month before. On Aug. 20 the Navy Times published the article that most mainstream media have picked up in their more recent coverage. Twohig's blog is the best source to follow the ongoing debate. No one has asked Microsoft, Google, or anyone else to blur the photo in question. Kind of late now.

That is so uncool. There are things that noone needs to be able to see on the internet.

President Bush disagrees with you

Actually, your wrong. I'm pretty sure that Bush wants to keep our highest military secrets, just that, secret.

It wont really matter in a few months... Hillary will sell China the technicall drawings for the prop in exchange for a modest campaign donation.
