Terrorism as an excuse for downsizing?

Maybe it was the indigestion they got when they swallowed Earthgrains. Those "The promise of Earthgrains" commercials made me want to huck up my breakfast anyway.

I don't know how many times I've seen mergers like these end up resulting in job cuts. But they'll cast blame, if they can, on anything from sunspots to dearth of holy water. 9/11 is a wonderful catch-all for blame, because it's not disprovable: Um, err, well -something- must have happened, therefore it was the WTC attack.
