Time that the Brits realize, though, that their worst enemies live down the street from them. Very likely, the people who use Google Earth are working in Britain and sending this info to their 'brothers' in Baghdad.
There is no reason for google to have the most recent photos on their database for a war zone.
Additionally, spoofing was the standard for many years (offsetting coordinates by random amounts, available only to the military, if required), and there is no reason for that not to be the case with the images that google makes available to the public.
I can't think of any reason why updated photographs in a war zone should be available to the public.
