CNN: DHS "surprised" by NYC decision to announce the "plot"

[tgnyc]

J. Maserve just reported it.

[mattclearing]

Dunno why.

They should announce every plot...it's the only sure way to prevent them from being carried out. I think the NYC government understands this.

4. Exactly.

Makes you wonder doesn't it? :tinfoilhat:

1. Someone stick a mic in Chertoff's face...

I want to hear Skeletor step in it.

6. Nobody expects a Homeland Security Inquisition!

Our weapon is Surprise. Surprise and fear. Fear and surprise...

Our TWO weapons are fear and suprise and ruthless incompetence.

Our THREE weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless incompetence and an almost fanatical devotion to the President!

etc.

5. DHS upset the plot was foiled, eh? nt

8. that has my vote nm

7. One thing we've all learned is that we are on our own.

Federal help sucks at best. NY made it's own decision, can't blame them.

OTOH, it could all be bullshit. I'll never bet my life on which to side to believe, State? Feds? Nah... both mean nothing to me when it comes down to trust.

Sad, ain't it.

9. I think the WH got someone in NYC to announce a bogus threat

because if the WH announced another bogus threat just as Karl Rove went to testify before the Grand Jury again, everyone would be doing what Olbermann did last night.

There are Republicans in NYC too.

[halobeam]

12. Isn't Bloomberg the largest donator to Bush as an individual?

Maybe THAT'S what friends are for?

[Doctor_J]

14. This is probably it

whenever the WH wants something to disppear from the news (like Rove going to prison, an incompetent hack appointed to SCOTUS), a terror threat is announced. The color codes don't work any more, so the next logical step - "Plot Uncovered!!!" is put forth.

13. BULLSHIT- all part of their plan
