Could this also be part of a "communications blackout" ? No, not in a sinister, government keeping secrets, manner. A friend of mine serves on a ship that's over there right now. He dropped me a note last night that they were going into a communications blackout to try and control some of the wild miscommunication being sent out. It seems reasonable enough if only to prevent widespread panic from someone "close" to the situation saying something incorrect. --------------------------- Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold xenoph...@godshell.com --------------------------- "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology." - Niven's Inverse of Clarke's Third Law
