Donate $25 for two DVDs of the Cryptome collection of files from June 1996 to the present Natsios Young Architects 28 December 2003. Thanks to B., unblurred but watermarked images remain available of the White House, Vice Presidential Residence and Capitol at AirPhotoUSA.com. These pairs from AirPhotoUSA  and GlobeXplorer were downloaded 28 December 2003 (note that all are attributed to GlobeXplorer -- which obtains them from USGS -- and which seems to be the only censor):

Some time after December 13, 2003, when Cryptome downloaded the satellite images below from Mapquest.com, the site's image offering has been removed. Now only maps are available. It is not clear if this removal is temporary or permanent.

Mapquest has been a primary source of images in the Eyeball series.

It is possible that only Cryptome is blocked. If anyone can still get satellite images from Mapquest please send a note to jya@pipeline.com

The British version of Mapquest, MapInfo.com continues to offer aerial images. And black and white images of the US are available from http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/

18 December 2003. Kevin Poulsen reports on who did the pixelating in Security Focus:

13 December 2003. One of the Eyeball series.
Source of photos: Mapquest.

The distinctive pixelating of aerial photos of seats of US power would appear to make them more easily identifiable targets.

This shows the Capitol and Senate and House office buildings pixelated, but not the Supreme Court, light-colored building at right of the Capitol.

Aerial photos of previously eyeballed sites -- for example, Air Force One and Helicopter One hangars, the Pentagon, CIA, NSA and NRO -- remain unpixelated. Mapquest aerials on December 13, 2003:
