One Reason at Least
No decent, self-respecting individual would ever turn another person over to authorities to be tortured. Yes a civilized person might turn in a suspect to be detained and questioned, but not for torture or summary execution.
Torture is against international law and condemned by enlightened societies, but embraced by degenerates and barbarians. My dad used to tell me that two wrongs don't make a right. I guess maybe Bush's Poppy never said that to him.

US Plans to Blow Apart Its Own Military Satellite
Space Weapons and Anti-satellite Missiles
Here is a good opportunity for our space agencies to prove the value of the Orbital Express satellites to reprogram and boost the orbit of its own spy satellite, but instead they choose once again to show their ability to destroy satellites by using anti-satellite missiles.
They warned the Chinese before about doing the same thing. It sounds like another clear act of intimidation against the rest of the world, an example of how they can deny access in space for certain satellites - especially those from Iran.
