They're still 'considering the situation', take that as you will.

BTW, I haven't gotten around to reading any of the articles yet, so I don't know if wire tranfer is mentioned.
Just something to think about for my American friends.

So, i wonder if there will be any poker sites left with the jewels to allow the american player access to play poker? It is looking like every site is gonna cave in to the bush administration. Sad ery sad.

No, don't make any hasty decisions yet. Let them formally announce it and give you a timeline. In theory all sites should still be playable/accessable for 270 days but just wait and see.
Nobody is going to steal your money, trust me on that.
