Call it the case of the missing White House. Users of Mapquest's free aerial photo database recently noticed that details of several
Washington D.C. government buildings were no longer discernable in overhead images of the U.S. capital.
A comparison of old and new images posted on the government secrecy watchdog site Cryptome shows that portions of overhead color photos of the Capitol
building and the grounds of the Naval Observatory, where the Vice President's residence is located, have been distorted -- pixilated into an digital
blur.

Probably the most blatant "cover-up" ever
Definately interesting, considering a year ago you could get some very close up images of all the
buildings now apparantly obscured. Wonder if this makes the images I saved and printed worth something since they were done before all this mess?
