I don't know. Definitely a possiblity. If the projection of attacks are of the scale suggested (a nuclear attack on the UN for instance) and they are close to what they figure is going to happen, you have to wonder. When a guy who spent years doing analysis for the CIA, and many of his peers are involved in the same organization, says that the story is cooked and not real I tend to give him the time of day. When he completely humiliates Rumsfeld with the same data that was used to get into the war in the first place I think it lends significant credibility to his voice. Add in the use of fear and terrorist threats (not a single one of them true) as a diversionary tactic during the last election and it makes you wonder.
