It has to do with time and location. A crashed airplane isn't going to move. By the time you are able to locate a terrorist hideout, through imagery, they will have moved a few miles away. Easier said then actually done.
If web searchers can do this, then how come the USAF can’t find Iranian insurgents in Iraq using the same technique?
Democrats probably put a stop to the technique claiming it is an illegal search and currently the issue is under review by the 9th circut.
Wouldn't surprise me for a minute if my poor humor is actually true.
Yeah, and why can’t we find Bin Laden?

I always hoped the satellites could produce images of vince foster driving to ft marcy, getting out of his car, etc, but I hear they were turned off that day (or maybe just malfunctioning)
They can, and they do.
