This is absolutely NOT "Fun"Sec.

I apologize for interrupting your Thanksgiving (may God make us all
truly thankful today!) with such things as international terrorism, but
. . .

I don't think I have ever in my life seen an international media event
where the media commentators were so absolutely CLUELESS in what they
were talking about.

If anyone would like to gain some historical context on how the current
round of mass bombings in Mumbai fits into the very clear and consistent
pattern of the other bombings this year, including:

Oct 30, 2008 - Assam Bombings
Sep 13, 2008 - New Delhi Bombings
Jul 26, 2008 - Ahmedabad Bombings
Jul 25, 2008 - Bangalore Bombings
May 13, 2008 - Jaipur Bombings

You might be interested in reading my blog entry today:

n.html

To add a pinch of cyber to the mix, in several of these bombings, Yahoo
and Gmail addresses were used to send the warning to the media, and when
traced, they were found to come from unsecured WiFi connections in
Mumbai (AKA Bombay).

Yeah, the blog lists the email addresses and their IP addresses.
