Public Access to High Resolution Imagery - the NRO take

Dr. Donald Kerr, Director of the National Reconaissance Office (NRO) was asked about the public access of very high resolution imagery in terms of national security interest now that commerical satellite companies are launching sensors that may reveal sensitive information. Kerr said, "To go beyond the current generation of commercial imagery, you have to think about policy concerns. Do we want to make imagery available to everyone that logs on?...We have to work with the commercial imagery providers on what makes business sense, what makes sense for national security and what makes sense for taxpayers." Kerr said that he and NGA Director Murrett are actively discussing this issue. Do we read between the lines and suggest that we may be seeing the NGA and the NRO step in to limit advances in earth imaging sensors?
