i have a question (i'll try to be fair and balanced): how can the authorities both conclude no terrorists were involved in the blackouts that struck much of the northeast, and not know the cause of the blackouts?

i realize they are trying to reassure the public, and maybe they just mean that no one bombed any power stations, but that's not the only thing that fits the definition of "terrorism." sometimes i wonder if our current regime even knows what the word means
