CIA officials: there was no serious plot to bomb NYC
Rove planted the story to make the misadministration look better. Raw Story reports:
The alleged bomb plot, sources suggest, may have been to alleviate Bush administration concerns that the Alec Station (the CIA unit responsible for tracking Osama bin Laden) shutdown story would make them appear to be "weak on terror."
“In sum, the plot, if that is what we would call it, was not well conceived, and there was no possibility of flooding Wall Street. There was no connection to a cell in the US. Finally, professional terrorists generally do not discuss targeting on open channels. As it was being monitored from the beginning of the open discussion, there was little chance anything concrete would have developed," said CIA officer Philip Giraldi.
