Subject: Flaw in google redirection url

Hy,
there is a flaw in a google redirection url that can allow a  
redirection on any website from an url begining by http:// 
www.google.com...
Here is the link:
http://www.google.com/url?q=http://whmt.blogspot.com/&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=1'
This link will redirect you on my blog(http://whmt.blogspot.com/).  
(It's safe)
The flaw is in the variable usg that you can corrupt by writing  
usg=1'. It will allow any redirection.(And could be used for phishing)
See you soon.
Clement.
