Notice that in this war against these evil men,
hardly any worthwhile live TV coverage, unlike in Vietnam or in "Operation Desert Storm".
Of course it's because the Taliban hates the free world;
and its the free world from which the UPI and AP draws most of its journalists from...and, also, the Bin Laden terrorist camps are in isolated regions.
So to follow this conflict as spectators we have to rely on "space assets": Journalists have to use handheld
satellite telephones [Globalstar?], and those portable,
satellite-relay videophones deep in Afghanistan, and
we will see more and more reliance in this conflict by
CNN, MSNBC, etc... on the "civilian" IKONOS surveillance satellite for images
of bomb damage assessment, etc...
The IKONOS can easily image bomb craters made
by 500Ib bombs, or larger.
