I read somewhere that the plan involved leaving it with around 10 deg. inclination to save fuel, as the feds can afford things like fancy tracking dishes. I don't think the feds can resell it for a profit due to the Commercial Space Act.
they're moving it to a geosync orbit so that bush can try out his new missle defense system.....or maybe he'll just use a telescope and a magnifying glass to try and "burn it like those little ants out in the sandbox" (<---that had a little bit of pun/racistness to it....completely unintended)
