#1 This was far more specific information than the memo which the loons use to claim "Bush knew".

#2 A very good practice for the real thing. But I do hope the informant's interrogators beat him thoroughly for his deceit. Billing him for the cost of patrolling NYC doesn't seem out of line, either. Not to mention recompense for those Iraqis he falsely named.

#3 A very good practice for the real thing.

Unfortunately, I think the exact opposite is true and underscores the double-edged nature of warning the public about terrorist threats.

Post enough false alarms and everyone begins to tune out all the warnings.

#4 With fresh memory of 9/11, New Yorkers are not going to be less inclined to heed such warnings and take precautions.

But, obviously this disinformation campaign achieved its objective: terrorize even when there is no "real" treat. I suspect this is only the beginning of this dance.

#5 It also gives terrorists the chance to see what the reaction ot a real threat would be. Nonetheless, it's what ya gotta do.

#6 Yeah, yeah, we know - its all Dubya's fault, the fault of GOP-led defective national Fascism/Fascist Socialism, the fault of Federalism and Capitalism, the pro-America anti-Sociaist/OWG wing of the Demmies, and the of course the Federal level of Gummint and only the Federal level of Gummint. The Fed and only the Fed must expand expand expand, tax tax tax, and spend spend spend, where ala AL SHARPTONISM Repubs, Conservatives and non-African American minorities/ethnic groups can work for their wealth and livelihood BUT NOLA'S=AMERICA'S BLACK AND POOR HAVE THE ABSOLUTE AND UNDENIABLE RIGHT AND PRIVELEGE TO STAY POOR AND PERMANENTLY SUBSISTING ON PUBLIC GOVT. WELFARE - EEEEERRRRRRR, SOMEBODY ELSE'S TAXPAYER DOLLARS: you know, Lefty Universal EQUALISM and "PROGRESSIVE"!? HUMILIATE AND IMPEACH DUBYA AND HIS ADMIN. NOW, D*** YOU, for having the unmitigated gall to tell Clintonian Amerika's sacred Communist-LeftSocie Heartland and pro-OWG Mainstream that Americans work for a living!
