Now I'm pretty sure that there was no Amateur Satellite comms (but I could be mistaken), from Abu Ghraib prison, so why bring it up?
Just to remind the crowd that amateur radio communication should not be involved with any military operation.

If military communications test should be perform it should be carry on military frequencies or military satellite not on the ham satellites or bands.
Just check where the MARS frequencies are allocated "out of the amateur radio bands" why AMSAT-NA wants to do otherwise?
