Very interesting. Thanks for the ping.

I think it would be deeply disturbing, but not surprising to find some AQ sleepers who infiltrated power companies.

Did you see that all the computers at Edwards Air Force Base shut down on account of the computer worm?

We are WAAAAAY too vulnerable.

Edwards shut down
Computer systems at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., were shut down this week as a result of the "Blaster" computer worm.
The desert base is home to the Air Force Flight Test Center, which conducts work on the B-2 and B-1B bombers, the airborne laser, the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle, the new F-22 Raptor jet fighter, the Joint Strike Fighter and other high-tech weapons.
"We stopped access to our base computer network Monday about 2 p.m. because of the Blaster worm," said Air Force Lt. Col. Kerry Humphrey, a base spokeswoman.
"We don't know how much damage was done, but we're slowly but surely getting our system back on line."
