[OSM-talk] US diverts spy drones from Afganistan to Haiti

U.S. Diverts Spy Drone from Afghanistan to Haiti" From the article:
"As part of the Haiti relief effort, the U.S. military is sharing
imagery from one of its high-end, high-flying spy drones, the RQ-4
Global Hawk. [...] “Today we’re going after another 1,000 images,
which will all be unclassified,” McCleary quotes Butz as saying.
“SOUTHCOM will provide it to whoever needs it.” Sharing imagery from a
spy drone may sound like an unusual move, but it’s part of a larger
push within the Pentagon to declassify and share imagery in stability
operations and disaster relief.
