You're going to do anything you can to get that deal...even if it means making democratic concessions by filtering information over your hardware. There are several contracts like this where I'm SURE there's open source intel being gathered. Another example would be the CHINASTAR satellite under Lockheed Martin. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPage.do?dsp=fec&ci=11462&rsbci=0&fti=126&ti=0&sc=400&jsi=false ...and yes, China is most certainly aware of this activity, but they probably conceeded this to the USA in exchange for something else. These types of deals happen all the time behind the scenes.
