Thanks for the clarification, moonlit.

Hmmm.
U.S. checking possibility of pumping oil from northern Iraq to Haifa, via Jordan
The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of pumping oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa. The request came in a telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a top Foreign Ministry official in Jerusalem.
The Prime Minister's Office, which views the pipeline to Haifa as a "bonus" the U.S. could give to Israel in return for its unequivocal support for the American-led campaign in Iraq, had asked the Americans for the official telegram.haaretz
Iraq-to-Haifa oil pipeline could spur economic rebirth
JERUSALEM -- With Baghdad effectively in American hands, Israel and Jordan are testing the political waters to see whether the Haifa-Mosul pipeline could once again pump oil from Iraq to Israel's major port city.

Yikes. I'm sure there are very good reasons for it (haven't checked out the links yet), but am I the only one shivering at how the "U.S. topples Iraq to pump our oil to Israel" line will play with the hardcore Al-Quaeda types?

Raises hand.
Although I could see the Al-Quaeda types wasting a lot of time, resources, and energy (no pun intended) on the pipeline itself, instead of elsewhere. Of course, then, who gets the fun job of guarding the pipeline?

If I only had a brain...
The problem is, it doesn't take a lot of resources to sabotage one point in a pipeline. It's already happened twice. You can't guard something hundreds of miles long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this is a bit of an obscure question, but it's bugging the crap out of me.
I'm watching Second Sight: Parasomnia, and the guy that plays an ex of the main suspect -- a slight black guy -- is very familiar. I'm pretty sure I saw him in an upsetting role, one where he was falsely accused of a murder, perhaps of someone he loved, and I think he committed suicide. Also fairly sure it was one of the Prime Suspects.
But his SS character (Mr. Sylvester) isn't listed in IMDB. Does anyone know, maybe, which Prime Suspect, and which character?
edit: Fraser James, played Tony Allen. Whew.

ita, I was just coming to post that, having checked the credits of PS 2, IIRC he was the brother of the murdered girl.

Thanks, moonlit.
I was under the mistaken impression that the SS 2 didn't have credits, because PBS inserts ads before them, and I never made it through them.
I've only seen him in those two things, but he broke my heart in PS2. I need to watch that again. It was my favourite.

Ah, see we got the unadulterated BBC versions of SS 'cos they screen on our ABC which is basically like the Australian chapter of the BBC.
