If you are a Google Earth user, starting today you will be able to zoom in on all the carnage happening in Darfur. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has teamed up with Google in an attempt to draw attention to what's happening in Sudan. Users can zoom in to view destruction of villages and the location of displaced persons in refugee camps. Here's Google's spin: "At Google, we believe technology can be a catalyst for education and action," Schrage [Google's vice president of global communications and public affairs] said. " 'Crisis in Darfur' will enable Google Earth users to visualize and learn about the destruction in Darfur as never before and join the museum's efforts in responding to this continuing international catastrophe."
