A nationwide FBI alert was ordered after Canadian intelligence officials intercepted a coded message sent to Afghanistan by a suspected associate of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network... Authorities said that while the message had no specifics on the intended targets or the method of delivery, U.S. intelligence officials believe the coded dispatch is an indication that terrorist cells operating in this country, Canada and Europe are free to plan and carry out strikes without first seeking the permission from leaders of al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

To us, it's mildly interesting to know where the information came from; to the Bad Guys it's essential counter-intelligence. Once they know what was intercepted they can close off that source so that next time it'll be a surprise. Discussing sources and methods is the worst kind of frivolity. |
