thanks for the copy of news article. I don't put much credence in terrorist
making claims for causing a power outage. I might be wrong, but the purpose
of a terrorist is to "terrorize" their enemy. If they can make us believe
they caused the power outage, wither they did or not, they still have
effectively "terrorized" us.

Exactly! It wouldn't be the first time that a terrorist organization
took advantage of a convenient catastophy to advance their cause. To
date there is no evidence to suggest that this was anything other than a
breakdown in infrastructure, and the failure of certain safeguards to
isolate the problem areas. The rest played out like a stack of dominos.
I'm waiting for the next hurricane or earthquake to hit, and have Al
Qaeda claim responsibility.....



Unless I read some proof from a legitimate news source that the power outage
was the result of sabotage, I am going to believe the power company and our
government explanation. If their is proof that the outage is the result of
sabotage, I don't believe the power company or the government can keep it
secret. Someone will "leak" the info to a newsreporter.

Haven't you heard? It's all GWB's fault. The speculators... I mean, news
people said so.....
