The military will attempt to shoot down a crippled spy satellite some time in the next two weeks, says the New York Times. OF course, the reasons given are pretty good ones (public safety, etc). But, methinks they protest too much when they say "the Pentagon said that they were not using the exercise to test their most exotic weapons or send a message to any adversaries." (Emphasis mine)

Anything the US Military does sends a message - and as far as messages go this one isn't too bad.

The NY times thinks they have figured out something that no one else can! 

The only thing surprising about the article is that the NY times is so naive!  Or pretends to be.
