I am deeply concerned about the actions of the United States and the United Nations. The United Nations and the U.S. are using a U-2 plane instead of the more frequently used SR-71 Blackbird in order to view the military developments of Iraq. The Blackbird flies faster, higher and is better able to elude SAM missiles than the U-2. As a result, an American pilot is at greater risk of being shot down.

A far better way to view Iraqi military developments is to use satellite images. In this way no human life is placed at risk.
