Actual Times Report on Dated Intelligence.

Here's the actual NYT's report on the outdated intelligence that has prompted the installation of a Police State in the Northeast. Even if we ignore the date of the information, this is still troubling:

Much of the information that led the authorities to raise the terror alert at
several large financial institutions in the New York City and Washington areas
was three or four years old, intelligence and law enforcement officials said on
Monday. They reported that they had not yet found concrete evidence that
a terrorist plot or preparatory surveillance operations were still under
way.
But the officials continued to regard the information as
significant and troubling because the reconnaissance already conducted has
provided Al Qaeda with the knowledge necessary to carry out attacks against the
sites in Manhattan, Washington and Newark. They said Al Qaeda had often struck
years after its operatives began surveillance of an intended target.

CNN just did a report where they stated that many of the pictures of key potential targets or whatever were old, but that some were recently taken. It almost seems like they're doing damage control, and after calling Howard Dean a "nut"for suggesting that this is all political. I mean, it seems to me that he might be on to something.
