Wikimapia.org

Anyone else noticed that the content of wikimapia.org is being blocked in Qatar as well ??

The site is accessable, so it is not Qtel's problem, rather the maps do not display, so it is Google Inc which owns the service. The US government asked google to hide some sensetive location in the US from being displayed, but now even Doha does not display !!

All maps are shown fine for my friend who lives in the US. Welcome to Globalization, in reverse.
