BoingBoing points to a post on Radio Open Source: Google-Earthing the North Korean Military. Seems that military photoimagery hobbyists are identifying missile sites in North Korea. According to the post:

There are several military and intelligence employees, some retired and some active, who turn the defense job into a hobby, helping to point out and explain foreign military curiosities at the very civilian level of Google Earth. One current imagery analyst explained that, though he never divulges classified information, he often â€˜identifies naval vessels atâ€™ bases that ordinary Google Earth explorers have stumbled upon. . . . Like an army of ants, the nearly 550,000-strong Google Earth community has voraciously explored the North Korean military installations.
