Sources: Feds focus on two New Yorkers in leaks probe

[DoYouEverWonder]

October 15, 2005

The Department of Homeland Security made a most unusual visit Friday, with two investigators traveling to the Upper East Side to question a dance theater director who allegedly e-mailed friends with word of the recent subway terror threat before it became public.

But Nicholas Seligson-Ross, 26, was nowhere to be found when the investigators showed up at noon at the First Avenue building where Seligson-Ross lives with his wife, Heather.

Across Central Park, on the Upper West Side, the probe's other focal point, Tony Micocci, 55, was in his West 73rd Street apartment, refusing comment.

Seligson-Ross in his Oct. 3 e-mail said his father works for Homeland Security "at a very high position" and had told him not to ride the subway.

1. This is chilling on so many fronts, its hard to pick which

one bothers me the most.

...that someone was monitoring their email so closely that this was picked up;

...that Homeland Security would sit on a threat for days before telling people about it - so long that someone felt compelled to at least warn their family about it.

...that the trip to the emailer's house is reported in the paper.

...that this is a non-issue as it was based on a lie which may have been played BushCo to cover Karl Rove's ass.
