Ummm, despite the mantra, "obscurity" IS one part of a comprehensive security program. No, it's not the end-all-be-all of security, just like no one part of the entire program is, but that's not to say it can't be helpful.

As far as "obscurring the buildings only leads to drawing more attention", these buildings are already known "high value" targets. They already have more attention that just bluring a picture can do.

Everybody needs to quit whining...not everything the government does is bad just because you don't want them to do it. Give me one good reason, though, why you'd need to have a high-res static (or even non-static) photo of the top of the White House, or the White House grounds....what information could you possibly need that provides this level of detail? You already know where the building is....
