Investigators are poring over the trove of documents and photographs that led to this week's urgent warnings from the Homeland Security Department. But intelligence agencies have been unable to reach a consensus on whether the unusually detailed documents recovered in Pakistan reflect a defunct terror plot or one that might have been successfully interrupted.

Meaning they can't find any information that justifies the alert but the WH is pressuring them to find something.

1. As I said elsewhere...

They detail a plot from 3 to 4 years ago to destroy major financial centers and to target Washington... oh yeah, that ALREADY HAPPENED ON 9/11!

This terror alert is a fraud. I'm amazed that more folks don't see it for what it is!

3. Folks don't seem to get this either

Simply catching the guy disrupted any specific plans he was attached to. If anything, the threat level should have been lowered.

Sort of like if the Defense in football knows the offense is going to run a reverse play: "Oh my god, they're going to score!" Or if a pitcher knows the guy on first is going to steel second "Oh my God! He might steal second!"
