What distance from Earth would be considered "deep space"? Could it be that international terrorists now have a base of operations on the other side of Pluto? If not, then what sort of intelligence gathering process could our collective military establishments possibly be engaged in that could not be accomplished in near Earth orbit?

Following this line of reasoning, I have to assume the target of their interest to be IN or FROM deep space. From my understanding of the way things work, that would make the "target" extraterrestrial and alien in nature. Whether the satellite sensors are aimed in the direction of deep space or inward toward Earth, the conclusion remains the same.

We are all in some serious trouble, here! Either, we've got a military that is totally out of control with no regard to personal or human rights (and in the case of the US, our constitutional guarantees) or we have a grave threat to our security (and possibly, our continued existence as we know it) from a power not of this Earth. I should have built that fallout shelter.
