Are spontaneous "moments notice" decisions ever well-thought-out?  Take
this scenario away from terrorism and apply it to a presumed pending
DoS/Spam attacks of years past.  I know of a few m-f (Mon -> Fri, not
mother f...) businesses who would shut down corp email servers on the
weekend just to avoid problems.  Is that a half-baked solution, sure is.
Did it help, who knows?  What we know is those admins slept well that
weekend. :-)
