Anyone else get the feeling this was not accidental, but instead a test in case they need to take a satellite out of service but have no rocket or laser to do it? Or have I read too many Tom Clancy novels?

I think it was an accident. it was only a Civilian satellite for satellite telephones and pagers. not a high priority satellite or a military satellite.

you have read too many. The Russians have plenty of missiles that could wax a low orbit satellite
