The Federal Vampire Octopus

The National Reconnaissance Office. RobertaX has up a killer post about it.

Which you should go read.

But in case you're a lazy-ass who can't be bothered to click on a link to another blog, the money quote is below the break.

(The mission patch for their latest launch- no shit)

We don't have an Orbital Hilton or a tourist lodge on the moon and Pan-Am can't run you up there on a shuttle -- in fact, they're struggling to make the trains run on time while NASA astronauts have to bum a lift from the Russians. But our .gov can bigawd tune in every cel-phone call, walkie-talkie and baby monitor everywhere, and read everyone's e-mail and web-browsing history to boot. China plans to put a missile base on the Moon and this country's space program is all about listening at keyholes and peering in windows.
