Regarding first post: I believe that the satellite photos decomissioned a year ago under the Freedom Of Information Act showed that there WAS in fact no build-up on the Saudi border.

I think this might be what you're refering to. The photos in question came from a Soviet commercial satellite.

I've seen some references around to documents released by FOIA requests that apparently back up the satellite photos, but have no idea what those documents actually say, or in fact that they actually exist.
