Is there a mind-bogglingly expensive, ultra-secret spy satellite system that can destroy potential attackers?? Well, we don't know (or do we?).

But Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller is dropping outraged hints like crazy that something like that is in the new 9/11 intelligence overhaul -- and it's been around since at least 2002.

He can't go further without committing blatant treason. But with enough clues, spy junkies can pretty much guess what it is.
