That makes this story interesting indeed. I know Daleel is a jerk and we shouldn't put too much stock into what he says, but... in his latest message he opened with a statement: "let me break the Ice" (ice capitalized). Also mentioned that a preemptive strike would come from the north. Some of us here have been speculating Canada and that maybe their preemptive plan is to strike a power plant up near the Canadian/U.S. border, put us in the dark and then hit us. This may be far-fetched, but I keep thinking about the 100 men for 100 stairwells and remembering back during the August blackout everyone evacuating the 40 floors of my office building backed up on the stairwells in the dark. Just one of those weird things that sticks in your mind I guess.
Now I'm getting chills -- the Hudson River is also known as "North River" because it runs north to south. If I recall correctly, Henry Hudson originally coined the river "North River" and you will still see that name on older maps.
I mentioned that same speculation yesterday, about the "darkness".
