After detailed, street-level photographs of Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas appeared in Google’s controversial “Street View”, the Pentagon acted quickly to have the images removed, calling them a threat to national security. Because of this security threat, Google is no longer permitted to take pictures of military installations.

This is one of those Google initiatives that should have been consigned to the dumbass-idea bin. They did the same during the war in Lebanon in 06 and had those pics used by Hezballah's terrorists!

(Specifically in regards to defense imagery; Street View's an alright initiative otherwise.)
