Ya right - I find it amusing that every time something "bad" happens there is a group in the Middle East ready to take credit for it. I believe that the blaster worm had a better chance at bring down the power plants then Al Qaida or some other primitive group.

If they are taking responsibility for the power outage then the plant would of definitely exploded.
Well.. the *official* story is that a power line sagged into a tree. Let's see.. some good stout non-conducting rope.. toss it over the line.. hook it to a truck.. and help it out just a *little* bit... Hmm.. anybody know where the Presidential motorcade was at the time? ;) There was a thing on NANOG recently about a spotter plane getting in trouble for flying a route along a transmission line, but he got within 30 miles of the motorcade.... And of course the information is published as an alert to pilots about the closed airspace - which means the Bad Guys know when/where they don't have to worry about spotter planes.
