Smoking Satellite Pics

According to a report by The Associated Press, Mohamed ElBaradei, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, finds it "baffling" that there are apparently no commercial satellite pictures available of a site in Syria taken in the months just after the Israelis allegedly destroyed whatever was allegedly there prior to September 6th, 2007.

Except, of course, for the before/after photos, allegedly taken via commercial satellite, somehow obtained and published last year by David Albright at the Institute for Science and International Security.

Curiously, as Alblright himself notes, in order for someone to obtain such photos, they would have had to tell the commercial satellite controllers precisely where and when to properly position their satellites and would have had to have paid them big-bucks to take the aforementioned before/after pictures

Now, if Albright, himself, has enough spare big-bucks to go around commissioning commercial satellite operators to take beaucoup high-resolution pictures of a remote patch of Syrian desert, one immediately wonders where, when and why Albright obtained said big-bucks.

And wonders what relation there may be between the Albright disclosures last October and the video slide-show briefing provided The Best Congress Money Can Buy this past April which, according to New York Times Likudnik media sycophant David Sanger, was intended "to support its [Bush-Cheney administration] assertion that the building in Syria that Israel destroyed in an airstrike last year was a nuclear reactor constructed with years of help from North Korea".
