Gene & List,
Before others feel the need to lecture as well, I don't question Glenn's integrity and I am not being overly suspicious. The message was a simple light hearted jab at a highly sensitive issue in this country and I thought it was rather harmless. For those of you who think that's bad judgment or bad taste, at least you have the liberty to have & express such an opinion as do I. I beg to differ Gene, I doubt the terrorist enemy wants anything more than full body bags and no, they don't want us to be too suspicious because it might foil their plans.
Illegitimi non carborundum! Anthony

Anthony and List -
Before we get too suspicious of any/everyone (which is what our terrorist enemy wants to happen), the someone could be anyone in the country. Also I sincerely doubt that we need to question or be concerned about a contact of Glenn's.
That said, there is no guarantee that the "terrain" of the country will change that drastically regardless of what actions are taken. And even if it did, unfortunately there is enough data available on the Web to update any base map to whatever level of detail you'd like.
S/F ! Gene

Hmm, wonder who that might be ? Problem is, there is really no "base" to map. CNN had some pretty nice maps up, but scale is so small its can't be considered a useful map for your "someone". Besides, it looks like it's all going to change anyway pretty soon unless you know something the rest of us dont.

Greetings all, I'm trying to help someone track down some base map data of Afghanistan - preferably topo maps 1:100K or better
Any ideas on where to start?
Regards glenn
