heh, I remember looking up some satellite maps of French prisons on Google maps. They were blurred!!!!

A quick trip over to Yandex, and there they were in their full glory:

It's funny when countries fuzz up their google maps images of military bases, or oil companies, or whatever. The US military clearly thinks doing that is a joke: you can zoom in on area 51 and look at parked aircraft.

The US just knows where all the satellites are well enough that they hide the good stuff inside when something's scheduled to fly over.
