Fury As Google Puts The SAS's Secret Base On Street View In 'Very Serious Security Breach'

Military chiefs and MPs blasted internet giant Google today after its Street View service included detailed pictures of the headquarters of the SAS.

The base is even marked as 'British SAS' on the website and offers users a detailed 180 degree view of the perimeter boundary.

My Comment: Google is living in a fantasy land if they think such pictures can do no harm. On this issue the British Government is right.

From The Telegraph:

Britain's nuclear defence base at Faslane could be under threat from terrorists because aerial pictures of it are visible on Google Earth.

Detailed views of the facility on the River Clyde in Scotland are available free to users of the internet.

The images of the base show two Vanguard Class submarines at the site, which is the home of Britain's nuclear defence force.

A report in The Sun said the pictures were previously blurred out by Google at the request of the government but had reappeared following a software update.

The internet site shows the main base as well as the Trident Special Area, ten miles away, where nuclear warheads are stored.

It also shows satellite images of MI6's London offices and the SAS training facility in Hereford.
