Panel Points To China As Suspect In U.S. Satellite Hacks

Though not traced to China, actions said to follow patterns of Chinese military

At least two U.S. environment-monitoring satellites were interfered with four or more times in 2007 and 2008 via a ground station in Norway, and China's military is a prime suspect, a draft report to Congress said.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which reported the interference, said the events had not actually been traced to China. It said it was citing them "because the techniques appear consistent with authoritative Chinese military writings" that have advocated disabling satellite control facilities in any conflict.

Generating a reason to be at odds with a country to whom we owe money is both predictable and third worldish.Americans are used to impoverished nations playing this game against the US to avoid paying back loans.We have now officially sunken to a new low by implementing that same strategy against China.

Made in China....enough is enough...if we, as Americans just stop buying MIC items, we can bankrupt their economy - easier said than done, but it can happen - wonder if that will be a plank in any canidate's run at the big chair....
