- Example: several years ago, somebody with access to KH-11 spy photos
- sent some pictures of a Soviet aircraft carrier under construction to
- Jane's Defense Weekly. The photos were secret, and this guy ended up
- going to jail. But Aviation Week then picked up and ran the same
- photos, and so did William Burrows' book "Deep Black". And you didn't
- hear a peep about this because the photos were already public.
-
- For what it's worth, one of these photos made the back page of _The Times_
- (of London). It was printed quite large -- about 7" by 4" -- and showed
- lots of detail. I remember being somewhat surprised that pictures of
- that quality were being published in a national newspaper.
