  I heard on NPR last night that the grand jury (in Syracuse, NY?) had
just concluded after some months of hearings and recommended (is that what
they do) that a crime had been committed and that the prosecution is
going to ask the court for an indictment.  So it does sound as if 
something was going on.

  The announcer started out by discussing the effects of the "virus" and
then later said it was a "worm".
