at the bottom of the Med.

I want to know who they are and why they were doing it.

.... apparently Egypt didn't pay it's bill.

The guy loves wet work.

what evil lurks in.... ah, shit, Cheney burned out his Heart long ago.

...involve scuba gear, you've hit prime-time.

I'm suspecting whomever it is is probably locals paid by someone to do it. And the people who were paid to do it really have little/no idea who's ultimately behind it.

If it's not locals or somehow people who can be tracked to a state military...geeze, that could get ugly.

It sure as hell wouldn't surprise me with these nutters. Morsi's got into office via crooked shenanigans, is only really supported by reactionaries, and has no qualms with police-state type bullshit, kinda like a smarter, and much nastier, conglomeration of Dubya Bush & Dick Cheney(with hints of Nixon and a splattering of Ronald Reagan & Pat Buchanan).

...easily understandable, so the outpouring of opprobrium can be easily channeled.

Operation Northwoods, for instance. Or later, the bandying-about the Bush administration (IIRC) did with painting a jet with UN colors and allowing it to be shot down over Iraq. Turning to the Israelis, the King David Hotel bombing.

I'm not saying it's out of the question, but it's usually more straight-forward stuff.

Cutting an internet underwater cable...eh... (?)
