Why not? The threat comes from shaky sources. Had bin Laden and his leaders stayed alive and in power, the threat may have more credibility. Prudence is the rule for today as it is the tenth anniversary.

Word that Al Qaeda had ordered the mission reached U.S. officials midweek. A CIA informant who has proved reliable in the past approached intelligence officials overseas to say that the men had been ordered by newly minted Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahri to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Sunday by doing harm on U.S. soil.
