Any commercial satellite imagery of Pristina?

The military doesn't have a monopoly on satellite imagery anymore, yet no news media have bothered to buy any commercial 1-meter images. Perhaps the smoke and cloud are problems, but it only takes one clear day to get an accurate picture.

I'm sure the market for news in 20 major countries could support such a purchase, or even a high-altitude photo recon flight. I guess its more profitable to recycle the press releases of the protaganists as they're fed over the newswires. Maybe the commercial satellite imagery vendors are under an embargo for the duration?
