Seriously though, I do agree with you. There are circumstances where an SLR is a strong advantage. IE, taking breathtaking time exposures of the night sky or lightning strikes etc etc. However, the modern digital happy snap cameras do a fantastic job at taking pictures while travelling, they fit right in your pocket, and most importantly, when interesting stuff happens, you have it by your side. It's like using a howitzer when a pistol will do.
Surely the wise course of action would be to deny the existence of all secret US satellites plus a smattering of somebody elses's satellites, too.
If the USA knew about a secret satellite of a hostile country, it would be a poor decision to let them know, that you know. It would be equally unlikey to expect the other country to then respond in kind and let the USA know, that they know, that the USA knows, that they themselves know, about the secret stealth satellite. So basically in plain english, they know that we know what they know, but we won't know what they know that we know. You know?
Some news sources say five, some say six.
I know what you're thinking. 'Did they lose six warheads or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. You've got to ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" 6 on the way out, 5 on the way back. Where's the problem?!? oh...

Honey, which is which?
"I predict that in 20 years, computers will be twice as fast, take up a football field and will be so expensive that only the 5 richest kings in the world will be able to buy them!"
"Will they be used for dating purposes?"
"Yes! Mahey! but they will be SO accurate, they will destroy humanity, as they take away the thrill of the chase."
