      Even if they did, they wouldn’t. Analysts would jump right on analyzing the image to as high details as possible to figure out capabilities of their satellites and they don’t want that. Kind of like how Russia faked their military capability number of times, especially with airplanes.

        Kim Jong Il launches a lot of little rockets to make sure the word can see what his capabilities are, haha.

        I kind of think he has put his county in the position where it must prove it before anybody considers it a threat. Or else he would not have felt the need to tell everybody he can take pictures now.

      Oh they can’t do that, wouldn’t want anyone else getting their top secret information they clearly got from the photos.
