>(CBS/AP) President Bush has ordered the Pentagon to use a Navy missile to attempt to destroy a broken U.S. spy satellite - and thereby minimize the risk to humans from its toxic fuel - by intercepting it just before it re-enters the atmosphere, officials said Thursday.
Is it just me, or does this sound like bullshit? Sure, it _might_ be dangerous, but it seems more likely they don't want spy technology falling into the wrong hands.
Any anons with real info on this? Do US satellites really have toxic fuel, or is there something they're trying to cover up?
