Do you think that sites like Google Earth could aid terrorists?

I hate censorship but perhaps we ought to take a look at how accurate Google Earth can be with its images. I’ve shocked myself with some of the bases I’ve managed to look up in such vivid detail. I found my old barracks where I took basic. Also one day I was buzzing about on my Harley and came to a gate at the end of a long, lonely road. The empty guard box had a camera that turned my way. A voice from the speaker rudely said “WHAT!?” I politely asked where I was and was rudely turned away. Looking it up on Google Earth, I found it to be a “secure site” belonging to TRW. I saw space tracking dishes and lots of interesting stuff. You can also see bases in other countries. I would not think it smart to let “them” know how much we can see. Nor do I think it is smart to simply “show” what we have, where it is and how to get at it. Do you? Looking up one sub base, I saw one of those new, tent-shaped “stealth cruisers”. Is this wise?
