Spy Satellites Turned on the U.S.
"Traditionally, powerful spy satellites have been used to search for strategic threats overseas ranging from nuclear weapons to terrorist training camps.

But now the Department of Homeland Security has developed a new office to use the satellites to secure U.S. borders and protect the country from natural disasters.

Department of Homeland Security officials testified Thursday before the House Homeland Security Committee about the program and faced extensive criticism about the privacy and civil liberty concerns of the new office, called the National Applications Office. "

3. "protect the country from natural disasters"???
This comes from a government that couldn't turn on the frickin' Weather Channel to figure out that New Orleans was in mortal danger?
