Anyway, why can’t I see the OUTSIDE of the Whitehouse, but the Whitehouse can see INSIDE my private phone records?

For comparison, check out this pic of the white house which shows its roof, also shows the old Federal office bldg next door…. clearly, the rooftops shown in the satellite pics have no basis whatsoever in reality:

I can’t understand what they have to hide by giving the low-res treatment to Observatory Circle, since it’s already well mapped anyway and has been for many, many years.

Interestingly, however, the Pentagon imagery seems not to have monkeyed around with.
