Undersea Cable Cut Circumstances Examined

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Wired has a good review of all the recent undersea cable cuts and why it's suspicious, but unlikely to be a conspiracy. So far, there are only four cut cables (the 'fifth' was weeks ago) in two different locations. Of course, a cable is damaged once every three days, on average, and there are 25 ships that do nothing but repair them. While the timing and locations are a little odd, Iran has been online the whole time, even if some of their routers weren't, and none of the conspiracy theories really add up. In a recent interview, TeleGeography Analyst Eric Schoonover said, 'I think that this is more along the lines of coincidence.'"

ridiculous

[Anonymous Coward]

It's ridiculous how even Wired, a publication I have always trusted, has succumbed to the Bush administration's conspiracy to rid the Middle East of their internet connection. We already reliably know now that they are the ones behind it and they are currently bribing the media into suggesting that it was, in fact, just a "coincidence". Ron Paul would be opposed to such nonsense. Vote Ron Paul 2008 for a fair government!
