[Imc-newsroom] Seattle feature

[Paul Riismandel]

I am the guy currently editing the front page features--thanks for the kind 
words.

I haven't had a chance to update the article on the FBI encounter that we 
have up--and, yes, as Mike said, it was written before the press conference 
cleared things up.  I intend to update it this weekend to better reflect 
the facts--I just haven't had the time to do it.
