Don't you just hate when they do that! Today's network news is a farce,
unworthy of the name news, or even farce, come to think of it.

According to http://www.cbs.com/news/eveningnews/danrather/

"Now for the first time, CBS News takes you inside and looks at the
high-tech spies in the sky that keep a superpower - superpowerful." 

Oh gosh, who could that be?

http://www.nro.odci.gov/background.html states: The NRO designs, builds and
operates the nation's reconnaissance satellites. NRO products, provided to
an expanding list of customers like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
and the Department of Defense (DoD), can warn of potential trouble spots
around the world, help plan military operations, and monitor the environment. 

So secret they have a web site...Stephen
