Palestinian militants using Google Earth

Yet another report about how Google Earth is being used for evil, but good on the Times of India for including this statement from Google:
When queried about the use of Google Earth by militants, Google issued a statement saying "We have paid close attention to concerns that Google Earth creates new security risks. The imagery visible on Google Earth and Google Maps is not unique; commercial high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery of every country in the world is widely available from numerous sources. Indeed, anyone who flies above or drives by a piece of property can obtain similar information."
News services tend to forgot that Google isn't the only supplier of satellite imagery, just the best known!
