These guys privately own a spy satellite.

Canada actually owns a ridiculously high resolution "Geospatial" satellite (which means they "just use it for geological surveys".

*coughs*
a-bullshit.

http://www.radarsat2.info/rs2_satellite/overview.aspSome info on the Canadian one. It has a 3m resolution meaning that it can take a photo and clearly see objects 3 meters in length. However with image processing this data becomes much higher resolution, for instatance the US claimed that their 4m satelitte could read the monogram on a golfball.
