i think it's in either or both of these:
 
the retort collective --- afflicted powers
baudrillard -- the spirit of terrorism

Subject: [SCREEN-L] 9/11 request



I seem to recall reading some commentary on 9/11 that the terrorist
attacks seemed to be planned for television -- rather than having the
planes strike simultaneously, they were staggered so that attention to
them would not wane as the morning went on. Neither I nor my RA has been
able to find any reference to this, though. Does this jog anyone else's
memory?

Thanks in advance!
