Somewhere in this thread I noted that I found it strange that despite the capability, the USA [and other nations] were not showing proof in photos of heavy weapons or troop movements etc. in Syria. Today, for the first time, Amnesty International gave some photos out, with substantial detail of Allepo which I just saw on Al Jazeera. There are now private satellites with sufficient resolution for such. They had even gone to the trouble of labeling objects on the ground. It flashed by so quickly on the screen, I couldn't really make any analysis to comment upon, except that there seemed to be a lot of 'non-housing' objects in the streets. Some looked like tanks and such.
