A little while ago NY Times' reporter Douglas Jehl was on CNN's NewsNight (with RW mole Daryn Kagan sitting in for Aaron Brown) talking about the terror alert in detail.
Then, at 10:19 PM ET this story by Jelh and David Johnston appeared on the front page of the Times online:

By DOUGLAS JEHL and DAVID JOHNSTON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 -Much of the information that led the authorities to raise the terror alert at several large financial institutions in the New York City and Washington areas was three or four years old, intelligence and law enforcement officials said on Monday. They reported that they had not yet found concrete evidence that a terror plot or preparatory surveillance operations were still under way.

I didn't hear Jehl mention this on CNN. Did I just miss it?
