I asked a friend who's got access to a Bloomberg what's up with interbank lending. Here's his answer:

USD are very high, and irrelevant, because market is frozen and no one is lending at these rates or any rates

3m libor, 4.15 up from 2.82 on Lehman Day
even 1week, 4.16 up from 2.49 on Lehman day

spread between expected path of Fed funds and 3m libor, 250, up from 104 on lehman day.

Apparently, people are just pulling numbers out of their asses when BBA calls.

Non USD rates also up, but not nearly as much. It's a USD issue.

Dean really needs to re-check his facts.
