So George W. Bush starts with a quote:
“This is a new kind of, a new kind of evil. And the American people are beginning to understand. This crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take a while. And American people must be patient. ” - Washington, D.C., Sept. 16, 2001

And today tells the Pope:
“In a world where some evoke the name of God to justify acts of terror and murder and hate, we need your message that God is love.”

I wonder what the US censors like this?

Although the odds were in favor of the satellite crashing in the ocean and/or losing much of the sensitive equipment during a fiery reentry, the chance to use the ballistic defenses against a real-life target was likely considered too good to pass up...
