I think this will be denied and perhaps it was purposely leaked to shake things up... make Saddam start moving troops, get the UN moving, etc. -- Probably good strategery.

It could have been done to shake things up. I think that's why we had the hastily called news conference last week at 4:30 too with President Bush and Colin Powell - so that our troops on the ground and satellites could monitor what the Iraqi response was. A hastily called news conference isn't common for this president and it probably shook up the Iraqis a little and they moved things around then, too.
