Re: Undersea Cable Breakage Has Severely Cut Internet Users Across the Middle East and Asia Richard Golodner  –  Feb 02, 2008 12:52 AM PDT

I have been reading on some of the email listst that I belong to that people are starting to suspect that this may be a terrorism related problem. Being a security minded person I am paranoid by nature and untrusting of any chance happening. I have been a sailor all of my life and remember when a cable might break and AT&T;would have to send their ship "Long Lines" out to repair it. It was a rarity.
Now 3 cables in a week seem more than coincidental, especially considering where they are geographically located with one landing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This leads me to wonder why? The people who our US government consider to be of the terrorist ilk seem to utilize the Internet as one of their favorite forms of communication. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot?
I really wonder if it is coincidence or on purpose. Only time will tell. Just a few thoughts late a night.
Richard
