This is Just Amazing

This is from the New York Times:

The Times reports today that much of the information that led to the
heightened alert is actually three or four years old and that authorities had
found no concrete evidence that a terror plot was actually under way. This news
does nothing to bolster the confidence Americans need that the administration is
not using intelligence for political gain.

What the fuck was going on at the good ol' Dept. of Homeland Security? Were they going through a bunch of old intelligence reports and just came across this information? And even so, why all the fuss? I guess this explains why this intelligence was incredibly specific, but "lacked a specific time'. That's right, it's four fuckiing years old!

I just don't get it.
