If there is one building on the entire f-ing planet that shouldn't be subjected to any kind of censorship, it would be the White House. But of course, the goons in the current administration are too busy using the constitution as toilet paper to be concerned with that concept. Shame on Google, by the way. "Don't be evil" only applies some of the time, I suppose.John Q.

It stands to reason that more permanent emplacments have since been created, and I would rather the element of surprise remain on our (the USA and friends) side. Unfortunately, the bastards probably remember those dudes in black on the roof of the White House also. so thank you google for helping out and cooperating by blanking out those areas.Now the terrorists don't know *exactly* where we put our hardened positions since then. Here's hoping they walk straight into our enfillade. light 'em up. ventilate 'em.johnFri, 06 Jul 2007 11:46:45 -0000http://elliottback.com/wp/google-maps-the-white-house/#comment-3186644mark buildings and they will appear again. People how really want to do some harm will not base their attack on google earth to my humble opinion. A tourist map and a guided tour might give them better informationBurg, the NetherlandsThu, 11 Aug 2005 04:54:08 -0000http://elliottback.com/wp/google-maps-the-white-house/#comment-3186642this is pretty coolfcfggghghjhgTue, 10 May 2005 21:12:27 -0000http://elliottback.com/wp/google-maps-the-white-house/#comment-3186641Interesting that they censor the rooftops and courtyards...ceejayozFri, 08 Apr 2005 20:59:34 -0000
