The FBI has identified a teenager as the author of a damaging virus-like infection unleashed on the Internet and plans to arrest him early Friday, a U.S. official confirmed Thursday.
It always worries me when law enforcement send out a press statement that they are going to arrest a particular individual "in the future". Where is he "now" and why won't he remove himself to "somewhere a long way away", overnight? Obviously, there is something more complex happening here. -- Roland Perry
