They spend most of the article on LEO hazards, but this is a geo-sync orbit.

In a display indicative of the quality of MSNBC's journalism, they very 
significantly changed the article, in both tone and facts, since when 
it was originally linked.


Here's the original source which MSNBC was using. I believe this is 
almost verbatim what the MSNBC article originally was:


http://www.space.com/news/out-of-control-satellite-threatens-others-sn-100503.html

and an update:
