9/11 showed us that, despite the relatively concentrated POPs in NYC, theInternet was still the only communications medium that survived the attack --and it was largely unaffected, even for users located in NYC itself!
Does of us who where providing emergency transit to providers that where completely isolated knows that that was more because of luck than actual planning.
I am not sure what you mean with 25% of the Internet? What connectivity would degrade? From where to where?CAIDA tells us that over 25% of the Internet must be removed beforeconnectivity degrades. I'm quite a cynic, but I doubt the CIA could pulloff that kind of damage, much less al Qaeda.
