No, not quite. If you want the gory details, my email addie is in > my sig. I'll take your word for it. Though that's about all the US has done as far as I know. Apparently the big issue is that it's not safe for the FBI to cruise Nigerian internet cafes and the like. But I could be very, very wrong.

The southernmost extent of the Wisconsonian glaciers was a little south of where Indianapolis is now, 18,000 years ago.
