IKONOS rules -- one of the best examples of how so-called "spy satellites"
can be highly worthwhile. And if they happen to catch me sunbathing naked on
my roof, well, that's their problem, not mine. :D

Check out, especially, this gorgeous shot of Baghdad:

A beautiful city.

This picture's probably going to be worth a lot more, soon, since future
shots of the area will be full of big burned-out craters.

Oh, sorry, Madhu -- you were trying to change the subject, weren't you? :P
