Stony Stevenson writes "Google has complied with a request by the Pentagon to remove some online images from its street-level map service because they pose a security threat to U.S. military bases, military and company officials said on Thursday. Gen. Gene Renuart, head of the military command responsible for homeland defense, said the Pentagon had talked to Google about the risks and expected the company to cooperate in removing selected images from its Street View service. The Defense Department, which is still studying how many images are available, has also banned Google teams from taking video images on bases. But because many images were taken from public streets, the military may not have a legal right to request that videos be pulled."
