We put out the media notice on the 11 for a reason. They won't tell us stuff for a reason. Let them do their job. It's called the "Secrets of War".

We are NOT entitled to the "Secrets of War"...at this time.

Whenever theres a pause in news coverage of Dick Cheney, you know he's in the middle of something big.

I don't need to know secrets and how they are getting these guys. I would like to be honestly told if something is terrorist related or not though.

We might also assume a bit of cleverness on the part of the authorities....

Mounting a well-publicized nationwide search for 11 missing foreign Islamic young men screams "terrorism suspects." Denying that they're terrorism suspects -- in the face of the aforementioned facts -- pretty much guarantees that people will think of it precisely in terms of them being terrorists, and thus makes them more visible.

So I think we can consider this as being a sly wink meant to achieve other ends, about which they're not telling us.

Couple this with the highly coincidental stories of the arrests of Islamic men and their many pre-paid phones -- which wouldn't normally be announced -- and one begins to think there's something else underlying these stories.

I'm thinking that there's a conscious attempt to stir things up, in order to make the bad guys feel like they've move or make sudden changes. That leads to more leads and better intel.

I agree ... I hope that this means that the NYT is closing it's door.
