I am not saying it was terrorist related, but it sure could give people ideas, when they see how easy it is to black out such large portion of the country.

What I don't like about it, is that too many things seem to have failed at the same time, because experts keep saying that there were safeguards in place and this shouldn't have happened, it should have been isolated much earlier. Whatever problems caused it, it sure points out that a major engine of our economy, electric power is incredibly fragile and vulnerable.

Yes, this shouldn't have happened. That's why we have to find out the cause. There's so much rampant speculation and misinformation - starting with Chretien's weird press conferences - out there then if a tidbit of the truth does come out, well miss it.

Every story I've read has been different. It's a competition between the reporters to get the REAL story out first by using the lotto method of hit or miss. If they throw enough stories out there, they seem to think that one of them is bound to be right.
