UK military and politicos demand Google make SAS (British Security) facility vanish! http://bit.ly/98muoI (Mail Online) It's harder and harder for me to laugh these days, but these kinds of stories can still do the job. When will governments realize that Google Street View doesn't do anything that anyone walking or driving by such locations from public vantage points can also do on their own? For that matter, discussions about that particular site are in myriad locations around the Web, going back for years! The UK government really thinks that their adversaries don't know about the location? Oh yes, and the British brass must just *love* this site and thread started in 2006: Views of British SAS Training Facility and Other Secret Sites: http://bit.ly/cvsi8g (MilitaryPhotos.net) That thread also includes a fascinating writeup about the very site that's the topic of the Street View takedown demands presented to Google: Opening Day CredenHill - SAS OPEN DAY - CREDENHILL 30 SEPTEMBER 2000 OFFICIAL OPENING On 30 September 2000 at 11.00 hours, the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment held the Official Opening Ceremony for their new Stirling Lines Headquarters at Credenhill in Herefordshire. What's really going on, of course, is that Google Street View is completely inappropriately being used as a convenient scapegoat by governmental entities who have their own security problems (real or imagined) and/or political/public relations agendas. Ridiculous. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
