  <description><![CDATA[Much fanfare accompanied the Sept. 25, 2010, launch of the Air Force&apos;s Space Based Space Surveillance satellite. The $833 million craft was finally going up to do its job: monitor orbiting items from space itself, free of the time constraints and atmospheric interference that hamper its earthbound counterpart, the Space Fence. Its 30-centimeter telescope, mounted on a two-axis gimbal, would help keep tabs on satellites as far away as geosynchronous orbit as well as thousands of bits of space junk closer in. The builders said SBSS would be on the job within 60 days, and forecast a working life of at least 5&amp;#189; years.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In January, a United Nations official began an investigation into the use of drones in targeted killing, the first formal international probe of U.S., British and Israeli counterterrorism programs that have killed hundreds of suspected terrorists &amp;#8212; along with an unknown number of innocent civilians &amp;#8212; in secret strikes.
