Blowback Part 2
An attack on the NYC subway system imminent?
Well, probably not. Bush's terrible poll numbers + terror related speech= evil brown men are attacking!!

The New York Police Department and FBI are investigating a "credible" tip that 19 operatives have been deployed to the city to place bombs in the subway, and security in the subways has been increased. Department of Homeland Security sources told ABC News they were very doubtful the threat information is credible, however.
The city's police department said it was taking the threat seriously and believed the source was reliable, but also urged the public not to be alarmed because the information had not been verified.
....
According to sources in intelligence, emergency services and police headquarters, the intelligence community developed information that the threat may have involved pharmacists from Iraq coming to New York for some kind of chemical attack targeting the subways.
Three insurgents, one or more of whom are pharmacists, were arrested during a raid by a U.S. military and intelligence community team, sources said, and 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 became increasingly concerned because it was unable to discredit the initial source and additional information from the source.
Well, probably not. Bush's terrible poll numbers + terror related speech= evil brown men are attacking!!
