LIBOR <= 0?

With a 1-lot maybe, a 500-lot no. That trade may have been a wash sale between the same traders who are "painting" the tape.

Current flight to quality

The market appears to be discounting atleast 75 basis points of additional easing by Fall-2008. The easings will happen because of continued economic weakness and "accomodation" of people who have adjustable rate mortgages that are indexed to short-term interest rates. We'll see.

Options on ETFs?

If you actually believed there were mispricings, you should want to trade them. What you're observing could be approaching dividend payments, wide bid-ask spreads, illiquid options that don't trade frequently and/or restructuring-related news. Take your pick.
