That was my thoughts on this morning's phone problems with the 800 #'s. Some raghead probably testing it out to see reaction times and effects. Naybe next time, he'll go after more specific area codes, or even ALL of them.

I do know Ameritec has a lot of camel jockeys and other non-american types working for them. I've had to ask for a rep that I could understand several times.

My thoughts were more sinister than that.....

A common technique of terrorists is to stage a diverison first, wait for police/rescuers to respond, then detonate a larger secondary device to "get" the response team....

Perhaps this was a test to measure our response....

Normally, I don't wear a tinfoil cap but these are not normal times....

How hard would it be for one of OBL's 10,000 Islamic Fascist followers over here to buy a phone card, find a phone booth, and call in a bomb threat? How hard would it be for 10 of them to do this? Or a hundred? Not just once, but 10 times each? Or a hundred times each?

And by the way: why would such activity NOT be considered terrorism? Does it only count as terrorism when somebody actually gets killed?
