Did you actually read it, or just post based on the first 5 words in a article?

It wasn't a US "spy" satellite..it was a telecom satellite, owned by a private company.

"The AMC-14 satellite is owned by SES Americom, a major telecommunications provider for North and South America. It includes new technology that can allow telecommunications coverage to be altered while the satellite is in orbit.
