I'm sure that other nations and China have better resolution than this picture shows.
Uhm, it probably took them 3 days to FIND anything useful in the images. The world must seem a small place from your bunker, but I assure you it is not. There's a lot of empty ocean out there. Maybe you should try finding something by blind searching a couple terabytes of 1m resolution GeoTIFFs.
Add the time it takes for ANY satellite (gov/spy/commercial) to actually pass over a particular area of interest, and that's not a terrible time lag. DigitalGlobe released their most recent passes of the area to Tomnod a day or two ago for the public to look at. I'd say you could try searching for yourself but the site collapsed under the load.
"admitted to", how precious. Kind of amazed you aren't convinced BITOG is a NSA/Royal Dutch Shell front to gather information on the public...
