The Pentagon wants to shoot down that failing spysat. Do we really want to encourage more ASAT activity after last year's disastrous Chinese test? It wouldn't be hard to ruin LEO for decades. Argh.

I dunno. They're talking about a 20,000 mph collision. That could easily boost debris back into higher, very inclined orbits.
