He Shoots, He Scores!!!

Looks like my poll was 100% accurate!

From Reuters

The SM-3 missile was fired from the USS Lake Erie in the Pacific at about
10:26 EST and hit the bus-sized satellite about 133 nautical miles above the
ocean, the Pentagon said in a statement.
"A network of land, air, sea and
space-based sensors confirms that the U.S. military intercepted a nonfunctioning
National Reconnaissance Office satellite which was in its final orbits before
entering the earth's atmosphere," it said.

"Confirmation that the fuel tank has been fragmented should be
available within 24 hours," the statement said.

Fueltank...yeah, that's the ticket!
