Charlie,
I understand your concern. On the other hand, I know that the only real protection I have is public attention on anyone who might want to harm me. Nobody even remotely associated with the kinds of people and groups I zeroed in on in Iago would want to touch me. Fuhrman is too smart. His missed his chance early last year when nobody knew who I was. If anything, he'd want to do everything in his power at this stage to keep anything bad from happening to me. That would be the best thing that could happen for the sale of Iago. Nothing like a murder, a mysterious disappearance or a freak accident to sell a book about a killer.
I admit that this latest development has forced me to reassess the death threats I received around this time last year. Whereas they struck me at the time as too much of a boost for Iago for anyone associated with Fuhrman to send, I now have to consider the possibility that a Fuhrman sympathizer with no actual connection to him may have done it. Maybe they weren't what they seemed.
Anyhow, whatever I say about this has to be an overstatement of my risk as I see it - the one percent possibility that I can't afford to completely dismiss. I'm still 99 % sure that the clowns who stopped me were just a couple of cowboys playing a stupid game. That's enough to put me on the attack…and I am. --Jasper
