Google should do the same as they do for the US. Currently, they
block the roof of the White House, and buildings around it. View
1600 Pennsylvania and see. As you zoom in, at a certain magnification,
the roofs are whited out.

Either respect the wishes of those countries and 'mask' their sensitive
sites, or don't mask ours.
