KANDAHAR CITY, Afghanistan — There's a giant blimp, white with three tail fins, hanging over the city these days and it's causing a stir among Kandaharis who believe the Americans are using it to spy on them.

    Someone needs to tell Ghami how much porn the Americans have access to. There is no point in having a giant blimp fly around to:

    "...see through walls to look at our women"
    Goes to show how completely ignorant the adverage Afghani is. It's also troubling that these jackasses will try and shoot at it, all that will do is harm innocent people. Which no doubt in turn will be blamed on the Blimp firing at them.

    They should have put a big Afghan flag on it. Before the taliban, kites were a big thing. Thats how they should sell this.

    Weather and courage permitting, sometime later today hundreds of the good people of Sarnia, Ont., will be heading down to the city's Centennial Park to turn their other cheeks toward the American border.

    So incensed are Sarnians at Port Huron, Mich.-based Sierra Nevada Corp. for floating a surveillance blimp on the U.S. side of the St. Clair River, they have organized a "Moon the Balloon" protest during which they will bare their bottoms to the flying camera said to be able to pick out the name of a ship 14 kilometres away.

    If it is for surveillance the Yanks sure are getting lazy trying to be covert. At least paint Alfred E Neuman's face on the side with the words "What, me spy?" on it.
