Near Basra and the Iraq-Kuwait border, I believe?

Huh, I didn't know they were burning the wells again. I guess that explains gas prices going up even more. Oh well, at least it looks cool from space.

Can someone find me the Green Zone, or even better the US embassy?

...it's for, uh, school.

I suppose if I looked up the White House or some other potential terrorist target, the feds would bust down my door and haul my ass off. How often are these images updated?

I can go down the highest level of detail on Moscow, but I can't even get to the third most detailed level in the region surrounding Iraq...

Just to clarify, these images are in no way current.  The first place I looked up was clearly over three years old.
