Grand Moff Rumsfeld's black budget follies

Some ideas are just too good to write off because of a little thing like feasibility.

On the other hand...

And since this is a multiverse , on yet another hand... and still another ...

Tucked inside Congress' new blueprint for U.S. intelligence spending is a highly classified and expensive spy program that drew exceptional criticism from leading Democrats...

The rare criticisms of a highly secretive project in such a public forum intrigued outside intelligence experts, who said the program was almost certainly a spy satellite system, perhaps with technology to destroy potential attackers. They cited tantalizing hints in Rockefeller's remarks, such as the program's enormous expense and its alleged danger to national security.

Which may be related to this:

The president also instructed the Defense Department to develop plans to disable, in certain areas, an enemy's access to the U.S. navigational satellites and to similar systems operated by others. The European Union is developing a $4.8 billion program, called Galileo...

Awfully friendly of the D.o.D. to be able to disable our allies ability to navigate.

With friends like those in Bu$hCo... you really need to navigate a multiverse.

Thanks to Lambert at Corrente for the tip.
