Now I KNOW Rove is going to be indicted
Posted by Jill | 5:47 PM

How do I know? Because the Bush Administration pattern of revelations of alleged terrorist threats whenever it's in trouble continues:

The New York City Police Department is investigating what it deems a credible tip that 19 operatives have been deployed to New York to place bombs in the subway, and security in the subways will be increased, sources told ABC News.

While the police department is taking the threat seriously, it is also urging the public not to be alarmed because – while the source is credible – the information has not been verified.

According to sources in intelligence, emergency services and police headquarters, when three Iraqi insurgents were arrested several days ago during a raid by a joint FBI-CIA team, one of those caught disclosed the threat. Because it slipped out during the arrest, the plot was deemed credible.

After several days of work, sources said, the NYPD is increasingly concerned because it has been unable to discredit the initial source and additional information from the source.

The 19 operatives were to place improvised explosive devices in the subways using briefcases, according to two sources.

The police are deploying additional officers, dogs and heavy weapons teams in subways and commuter rail terminals, sources said.

Department of Homeland Security sources told ABC News they are very doubtful the threat information is credible, though NYPD sources said the information continues to come in and is disturbing.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the Associated Press, "Obviously, this is a significant threat."


Credible/not credible. Verifiable/not verifiable. This is the same tactic they use every time -- get the word out, then make people's heads spin with this kind of yes/no, cover-all-the-bases rhetoric. It's all designed to take attention away from the fact that the President's top adviser is in all likelihood about to be indicted, and quite possibly the President himself.

I'll tell you this much: If a bomb goes off in the New York City subway in the next week, given the timing of this warning, I'll know for certain that it wasn't Iraqi terrorists responsible -- it'll be the Bush Administration who perpetrated it, under the "Who Benefits" rule.
