So, the Navy shot down an errant spy satellite today. The story they gave was concern over the toxicity of the fuel… and the media seemed to lap that up.
Why is it that nobody has mentioned the fact that this satellite probably has millions of dollars worth of classified technology on it that other nations would love to get their hands on. Doesn’t it seem more likely that that was the Department of Defense’s primary concern, and the fuel was a convenient excuse to blow the thing up?

Do you live in a cave, Pete? The media as a whole never bought the hydrazine story since the day the Pentagon announced the plan, and everyone has been spouting conspiracy theories about classified technology, weapons testing, and weapons demonstrations. I’m probably the only person on earth that takes the hydrazine issue more or less at face value. But out of the conspiracy theories, yes, I think safeguarding the tech is the most likely of them.

Heh, sorry for the incredulous tone. So you don’t think I’m off my meds, here’s one of the early stories that mentioned the classified tech issue… from 26 January.
