Reading the back and forth emails was pretty entertaining. I wonder what caused FBI to go so cold on him for a while -- was it a negotiating tactic, or was there a block due to Sabu or other leads, or was it mostly unrelated bureaucratic stupidity?
But I have to say, Thordarson sending those short emails consisting of semi-trite messages to an FBI agent wererather amusing. "ok doki" "Merry Christmas :-)" "Happy New Year:-)" Seems rather unserious and informal on Thordarson's part. Not the sort of behavior you'd except from a spy, eh.
