You know, when the first one was cut, my thought was "wow, that will put a dent in their communication", but after the fourth one now, it's more like "which one of the three letter agencies"....

Lol, couldn't agree more! I've been reading about fiber tapping all morning. Scary stuff!

It's actually quite easy ;) Basically bend a fibre till the index of refraction gets to the point that some light escapes and then attach other fibre to that one...

I can't figure out whether it's us doing it or them. It's equally plausible either way, I think.

<taliban IT Pro> Those fucking westerners keep sending those unclean women across the intertubes. Send the Republican Scuba Guard to go sever them fibers, Aziz.

<Langley Infowar Spook> They rely entirely on just N cables to get all their prawns. If we just cut them, they have to come back to the negotiating table or all their haji prawns will be burka'd.

It's a bad situation all around. I've omitted the obligatory Aliens quote here about... nuking places.

I'm ok if all those cables stay cut, for the sake of the internet! I've gotten a lot less spam lately....

this whole thing still smells of something either iran or .. "someone else" is floating to see either how much damage it can/is doing or the public reaction to it.

but then i'm one of the tinfoil hat people. (it just looks like 100% cotton)

I blame the sharks. Those dorsal finned bastards have had it in for us ever since the release of Jaws 2.
