		<description>Ok... Here&#039;s the eal story...

It took some time after 9/11, but the sourtce images were altered to obstruct views of facilities that might become targets of people wishing to do them harm. Those sites include, but are not limited to the White House, the Naval Observatory (Vice Presidential residence), ALL of the Congressional office buildings, and key strategic military institutions - that does not mean military bases, but those bases which are handling sensitive material, or are particularly threatened. One example would be St. Ignoe&#039;s in Southern Maryland - once a radar research facility and auxillary airfield for the Navy, and nowa testing site for new RPV&#039;s.

Blurring out sattelite - and hi-res aerial photo&#039;s (hi-res are usually older, B&amp;W, and taken from an aircraft), has been done for years. But, after the press started pointing out that the images were available to everyone, the agency who controls those images, the Geological Survey, quickly blurred out those sites.

Cheney has a hiding place inside D.C., and there has been much speculation where it is. I don&#039;t want to know where his rabbit hole is - I just want him to get lost! But, I CAN tell you it isn&#039;t in Ft Reno Park, or at the reservoir there.</description>

Put in the name &amp; country and it gives you the coordinates.

It&#039;s pretty good at find even the smallest places...</description>

		<description>Someone has just published an entry on Wikipedia, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_blurred_out_on_Google_Maps&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;listing all of the blurred out spots on Google Maps.&lt;/a&gt;

Seems like this is the only one they&#039;ve found in Russia - so far...</description>

		<description>When I said flat I mean thats his basic take home pay without any extras, bonuses, expenses etc. Of course he never has to buy anything either I daresay.

Which means it could still be your wallet Tim) Why would Putin leave it in the Far East -its more your area than his)</description>

		<description>Google and the CIA share commercial satellites.  Rather, the CIA pays imaging companies to canvass an area, then after 18-24 months the companies sell them to Google.  That&#039;s why the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan is at 1m resolution, while upstate New York is at 100m resolution.

It&#039;s possible an intelligence agency is worried about something at this site, so they asked the imaging companies to blur it out.  I mean, that can go both directions, right?</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I think he earns about $100,000 a year flat -that’s his wage. ,/em&gt;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that his take-home pay taking into account all sources is considerably higher than this.  Hence he needs to leave his wallet hidden in the far east until his term is up.</em></p>
