This reminds me of the 1991 Soviet coup attempt, during which my 
colleagues and I used USENET News to keep information flowing into and 
out of Russia.  ABC requested an interview at the time, but to have

colleagues.

The terrorists were probably following eye-witness tweets and Flickr 
photo streams during the Mumbai attacks.
