I read the story this morning and I am still puzzled. Frankly, I suspect the FBI was misquoted or is blowing smoke.

I am always just a little bit skeptical about the average news story. There is rarely enough detail to know what is really going on. Consider as a typical example the ongoing thread about the lost elk hunter and the questions commenters have raised about missing information.


This story about the anchor is rather typical. For example, what is the size of the anchor and where is its location with respect to the critical parts of the vessel (like the props)? This is stuff that will come out during legal proceedings, but it rarely makes it into the news.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
