Are These Satellite Images Exposing America's Secrets?

Google may be compromising national security – all in the name of better mapping technology.
At Google Maps, anyone can search for the names of military bases and zoom in to see airstrips and possibly even top-secret military drones like the RQ-170 Sentinel lost in Iran last week. Aviation website Flight Global has done just that, and claims to have found the secret airstrip at Yucca Lake, Nev., used for testing the RQ-170.

The Google Maps site shows satellite images of either a Predator or Reaper drone on the airstrip, although Flight Global says the RQ-170 was tested there as well -- information that’s surely of interest to the Iranian military, said Cedric Leighton, a retired Air Force colonel.

    America shouldn't have secrets.

    I really wonder how that RQ-170 came down without a scratch. Possibly a dummy drone with false intelligence to throw the Iranians off? Throw the dogs a bone?

    I can't imagine having such technology without a way to command it to self destruct to prevent giving our technology away.
