Chuck,
Are you suggesting that the government should have kept the reason for 911
secret from it's citizens?

A serious question: Do you actually believe that this blackout WAS the
result of terrorism or, as has been suggested, a breakdown of
infrastructure?

I seriously believe that if I was Al Quaida, I'd try to take credit for
every
bit of bad news in the US from forest fires in the NW to seasonal
outbreaks of
the Hong Kong flu.

I also believe that if I were in charge of such decisions in the
government,
I'd make darn sure the terrorists never got credit for diddly squat-
whether
they did it or not. Even take 9-11 for example: the govt could have
portrayed
those tragic events as the deranged act of a group of
criminal extremists, and who would have been able to dispute it?
(Surgically
remove the head of the snake if vengeance is required or desired). Instead
we
get maybe WW III, and the only difference is how we choose to react.
