BC, it was indeed me, and my friend has had involvement in some drug ops in the past, so I don't know what his exact connections are today. I just know that when I mentioned the threat level to him, he got very serious and nodded slightly, and he said "I know. I'm getting the same information." For all I know, he could be a closet FReeper.
Thanks. I read so much sometimes I can't remember where I've seen things. It also seems relevant to me that the radical cleric from London who is under arrest in Lebanon decided to up and off for a month last week. It wouldn't surprise me if there was an attack on the financial district of London in this time frame.
