Quite right too, but:
*	they probably spoke on the 'phone, so let us also take out all phone
exchanges that
	don't have US wire tapping installed;
*	they probably sent each other letters, so let us also take out all
mail sorting offices
	that don't permit the US to real all post.

Seriously: we need to take care that this sort of knee jerk reaction isn't
used as a means of
railroading the encryption/... legisaltion that the governments have been
trying to get accepted
for some time. If any one objects they will be accused of being a supporter
of terrorists.

I was going to say 'mindless knee jerk reaction', just I suspect that it
isn't mindless, but
part of a concerted 'mind twisting' campaign organised by the spooks & their
friends.
