   You have got to be out to lunch!  The DoD welcome any and all
   advancements in imaging technology.  And how would hundreds of
   satellites spying on every living promote peace and goodwill.  Just
   thinking about it gives me the willies.

Just thinking about ONLY the governments of the US and USSR having this
technology gives ME the willies.  Reagan's "Trust but verify" remark applies
double here.
