Re Dr. Wiley,his wife was an Icelander,Dr. Wiley was learning the language, and he and his wife were going to visit Iceland.
Just "co-inky-dinky",I'm sure,that a company called "deCODE" is doing a mammoth DNA thingy there!
When you google the people involved, you see "Pillar" and the same funding start ups, etc!
Perhaps Don Wiley was going to take a new position at deCODE in Iceland?
Perhaps he figured out that deCODE had too many connections to the fellow travelers of Bin Laden?
Maybe my obsessing about Hybridon and Harvard and telemedicine and etc , etc is real?
