1.) Today CNN had ITN video of cruise missles low over Baghdad.  It looked
	like the missles were jinking to avoid anti-aircraft artillary.  Could
	they be programmed to do this once they were over the city?

2.) Gun sight videos on CNN the night before showed aircraft (F-117?) taking
	out several Iraqi bridges.  The IR images of the bridges seemed to be
	very stable (i.e., not much relative ground motion) not unlike video
	from a helicopter.  The weapons platform must have been moving at a high
	rate of speed, but then why does the bridge image remain so stable?  A
	good comparison (with lots of relative ground motion) would be the video
	shots of buildings being destroyed shown during the first few days of the
	war.
