Well, I can see both sides. It's an interesting idea as a joke, but it may be not a good time or place to joke about anything related to the tragedy right now.

I guess I'm the guilty party...1FFF (8191) has been deleted.
I was surfing around for satellite images of Afghanistan and came across this site:
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/afghanistan/darunta.htm
Some interesting pictures, if this is the resolution the public gets to see I wonder what the real deal shows.
The lead page had a lat/lon listed for the area and BING...In the spirit of patriotism, why not make it an Event cache with a traveler ?
It was immediately archived...when I asked Jeremy why...he then deleted it...Later I was reading through the forums and found there was some contention to posting 11 Sept related caches...
later,
Jim
