We've told you about Operation Chokehold<\/a>, the attack on AT&T's network scheduled for Friday, but now AT&T has something to say about as well. They're not exactly happy and throw around words like \"irresponsible,\" \"pointless,\" and \"nothing amusing.\" Ouch!<\/p>

I sincerely doubt that this statement will affect Operation Chokehold<\/a>'s attempt to make the AT&T network pee its panties as it runs crying to mama, but I suppose we'll see what happens this Friday.
