Over the last weekend the criticism arose about the "old information" seeming to prompt current security crackdowns. Not an unreasonable criticism on its face.
Was the release of the Khan information made for a domestic public relations battle??
My fears exactly. I would hope the Bush administration would be more responsible than that, but they took such a beating in the media over the heightened alert that some political minded official may have stupidly leaked this info.
On the other hand, maybe this is intentionally placed disinformation but I don't see the benefit of this.
