It's Expensive and Wasteful -- But I Can't Tell You What It Is

We don't know what he's talking about -- because it's secret. But Sen Jay Rockerfeller (D-WV) says a mysterious spy program tucked into US intel spending is "very wasteful and dangerous to the national security." Sen Rockerfeller, along with Senators Carl Levin (D-MI), Richard Durbin (D-IL), and Ron Wyden (D-OR) all refused to sign a compromise allowing the mystery project to move forward. Defense and intel experts believe the project may somehow involve sending weapons into space to defend America's satellite system. (LAT)
