#1 It makes a certain kind of sense, except for the Finnish involvement. A stunt like that, if it got out, would bring down Tarja Halonen's government. I just don't see it.

#2 yeah, it i'd tend to believe that a wood shipment making it's way to the ME via Algeria and maybe the Mossad thought of creating an artificial reef.

#3 You have to be seriously into maritime transportation to get wood from a Russian cargo ship.
