Remember when I made a post a couple of years back about how the satellite imagery of Washington D.C. used by Google Maps included some obviously pixelated-out bits, specifically the White House roof, the roofs of the buildings to either side of it, the entire capitol mall, and the Naval Observatory? I just happened to be looking at some of the same imagery today on Google Maps and noticed some changes have been implemented. In fact, all of the previously-obscured areas are now crystal-clear with the exception of the Naval Observatory. I doubt that Cheney's house has anything special going on that makes it more deserving of special security treatment... so my only conclusion is that they've done some Photoshop action on whatever it was that needed obscuring on the White House, neighboring buildings, and the capitol mall. I hope it's laser turrets. Or maybe the Super Monkey Collider.
