Great shots of the insurgents regrouping. Is there any sense from this video series how far south the house that the Scan Eagle focussed on as the trigger house was from houses 1 and 2? Houses 1 and 2 seemed like they were directly south of the IED site. House 1 seemed 200 ft south, house 2, about 350 feet south. Does the video give any clear shots of these two houses?

The suspected trigger house was 250 meters south of the ambush site (meaning where the IED exploded) and houses 1 and 2 were also south of the ambush site.

The Scan Eagle operator wasn't interested in houses 1 and 2 because they had already been cleared. So it's difficult to tell if houses 1 and 2 were on the video. From the air, every house in Haditha pretty much looks the same.

We might be able to do a match-up via Google Earth. I think cobra found the coordinates of the ambush site. The Washington Post also posted an aerial view of the ambush site which could be used for matching purposes.

If anyone wants to pitch in, we can use all the help we can get.
