Can anyone tell me whay anyone would wish to bomb telecommunications
sites?  Is it AT&T in particular or all telecom companies?

[Moderator's Note: The same people who propose these 'solutions' are
the same ones who propose terrorizing the post office. For the past
week, the post office I use has had *no* wastebaskets; *no* mail
receptacles inside the building; *no* convenience lockers where you
insert a few coins to rent a little locked compartment for a few
hours. All but one entrance is locked, at a location of the building
which is inconvenient to me. Many of the banks have their night
deposit slots blocked off. All the federal building toilet facilities
are closed to the public. Something tells me I am going to be tired of
this war in more ways than one before it is over ... and just now on
the television President Bush said 'everything is right on schedule'.
