Subway Threat a Hoax

This from Breitbart:

According to newspaper and television reports, the unidentified officials said the informant -- believed to be from Pakistan -- had admitted leading investigators astray about a plot to bomb the New York subway system.

Thanx and a tip o' the hat to Lunaville.

My disinformation theory (#3) is beginning to look better...

With that in mind, so what now if this was a "disinformation" attack? What if the informant was working for the enemy and deliberately tryng to get us to waste resources searching for a false threat (or worse, using it to distract from the real threat?) Considering the possible "disinformation attack" that resulted in the deaths of 965 Shiites in Iraq at the end of August, this is an unpleasant thought.

But what do we do?

That is not all. This is just the beginning.
