Default ISS - doing Russian military recon work?

The cameras on ISS don't have the ability to take images showing anything
more than a major city; with no details of what is within that city.

How do you know this?


Have a look at the pictures taken by the astronauts - and the television
images - no detail at all. They can barely take pictures of the eye of a
massive hurricane/cyclone, let alone anything of military significance.

Unless, of course, someone is suggesting 'hidden' cameras on some module or
another; but I doubt anyone other than a CT would be stupid/obsessed enough
to say that.
