Gates Says Will Share Data With China

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday the United States is prepared to share with China some of the information it has about the U.S. shootdown of a spy satellite.

His comments came hours after Beijing complained the missile strike Wednesday could cause harm to security in outer space and some countries.

"We provided a lot of information ... before it took place," Gates told reporters during a visit to Hawaii. But, the secretary also said that he is determined to be open about the U.S. operation and "we are prepared to share whatever appropriately we can."

In other words: "We launched a missile, knocked a satellite out of the sky, but we did it better then you did and didn't harm anyone else's satellites.  If you want more information, perhaps you should kindly go fuck yourselves."
