Dave, be interested to hear comment from qualified observers. I have
one
point to note: if you look at the White House in both services, you'll
find two interesting things. (1) Both have had the roofs of the White
House, EOB, and Treasury airbrushed out. (2) If you look closely at the
cars and people on Pennsylvania Ave. in front of the WH, you will see
that
the two photos are in fact identical. On some sampling, this is not
true
elsewhere, but it raises the question of just whose data they are both
using.
