Spy Satellites? What Spy Satellites?

The errors include a launch of a satellite that was never registered, and only two of the last ten satellites have been correctly registered. The errors are bound to cast doubts on what will really happen with the Son of Star Wars programme." Heh, "errors".

Why is it that political or foreign-relations stories get all the responses with Bush-bashing and America-bashing? I would like to have an accurate poll as to how many of these 'informed' slashdot posters actually voted.

I voted. For Malcolm Fleming of the Scottish National Party. Oddly enough, there are 180 odd countries in the world which are not the United States, and which do not conduct foreign policy by a mixture of ignorance, arrogance and petulance.

Some of us even live in countries where for the brother of one of the candidates in an important election to be in charge of the administration of the vote, even in a local area, would be considered improper. As a representative of the Zimbabwean government was quoted as saying after the United States last presidential farce, if they had conducted an election like that in Zimbabwe, the American's would have been the first ot condemn it as neither free nor fair.
