It's apparently been decided -- didn't I just mention Metzger's Dog here within the last 48 hours? -- that the April 9th fiber cuts that stranded this West Coast city were a coordinated attack, a detail I don't remember seeing here.

Bruce Perens has a thought-provoking piece on his blog about this. Coordinated attack or not, it brings to light some serious issues.

Yeah. Be nice if it was actually the journalism he thinks it is, instead of the commentary it actually is.

I agree that this incident went under reported, considering the implications.

This could be a good thing: the government imo always keeps quiet when it does something that is actually important. I'm glad that they didn't come up with grand pronouncements and breathless statistics (sure sign that some agency's budget needs to be padded) - with the media lapdogs faithfully in tow.
It seems that the mysterious people that should be looking at this, are actually looking at this.

Hope I'm not sounding like a conspiracy nut. But there are some interesting conspiracy theories regarding the internet and the government, and it is likely they contain a grain of truth.
