That's the official unclassified resolution.
Does anyone know for sure that there is not some other SECRET higher resolution camera on board?
I'd be willing to best that NRO has assets with the needed resolution somewhere in orbit, and most likely NGA has pictures too. Some day soon we may have access to them.
Back in the 60s I had friends in intelligence that said we could read a pack of cigarettes (60?) miles away. You can imagine what we can do now.

Richard Hoagland worked for NASA as well. and he has a lot to say about the original photos taken by the astronauts during the apollo missions. He also uses factual evidence proving that ancient monuments exist made from silicon dioxide on the face of mars.
Richard Hoagland is also a debunked fraud who's perpetuated bull # such as HAARP rings and radar anomalies. he's about as trustworthy a source as Bernie Madoff.

Speaking as an veteran of the United States Military; Navy to be exact, I find your opening sentence to be insulting in the extreme.
I may not alway tell what I know, but when I speak, I speak the truth as I understand it. I do not say that I am always right, I can make mistakes just like any other thinking being, but I never purposely lie.
One thing that the majority of the military have, both active and veteran, is a sense of honor.

After looking at the pictures, I really think its hard to tell what some of those objects are. I personally just think they're space rubble.

Absolutely!
Only the 'wheel' type space station was invented by Athur C. Clarke.
He also invented the comms satelite in geostationary orbit, forecasted nanotechnology,
and wrote a book nobody could understand.....
Perhaps I am in no position to criticise: in 1971 I predicted the first Mars Landing in 1994; now we'll be lucky if we make it by 2010. On the other hand, I thought I was being wildly optimistic in 1951 by suggesting a mission to the moon in 1978. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin beat me by almost a decade.

You want resolution better than 0.5m/pixel? Why?
This is what 0.8 (not as good) looks like over a city.

Phage now that looks great but how close was that picture taken? Do you suppose our satellites or probes can get that close to take a picture? No, not without landing.

4,300-pound satellite collected the image at noon EDT on Oct. 7 while moving from the north pole to the south pole in a 423-mile-high orbit at 17,000 miles per hour, or 4.5 miles per second. The spacecraft can take photos at a resolution of up to 41 cm – close enough to zoom in on the home plate of a baseball diamond, according to Mark Brender, GeoEye’s vice president of communications and marketing.
If there were cities on the Moon they would be hard to miss in the LROC imagery.
