The US Air Force wants to stop other's satellites.

I found this article, entitled: USAF plans space wars, world's space hardware gets nervous, this morning. Which, in turn led me to this article at WIRED, and then this one too:

"In that way, the report is similar to hundreds of others in the Pentagon's archives. But buried in the report's acronyms and org charts are two striking sentiments, analysts say. First, the document declares that the U.S. Air Force is duty-bound to slap down other countries' space efforts, should the need arise. Then, Counterspace Operations (.pdf) declares that a satellite or ground-control station doesn't have to belong to one of America's enemies in order to get hit."

Interesting reading.
